Explanation / Answer

6)

Status report meant what is the current situation of your project. “be precise” here meant you to give exactly what you have done (procedure step by step) from the start of your project to get to the present position and in the future what you are planning to do.

7)

As it is given to follow Memo format (official), I guess option D will be more appropriate as it explains what the report meant which is generally the format followed while writing a memo.

8)

It is not a blunder to use chronological order but generally it is avoided to remain unbiased in the points being put forth. Sometimes by maintaining this order might let the most important point lose its recognition. Other times you need to follow a process which might be a recursion method. So it won’t make proper sense by maintaining chronological order to these situations.

9)

Systems engineer (SE) is the technical lead of the project while Project manager (PE) is overall head f of the project. There are some duties which overlap and therefore they have to be in good communication with each other. Briefly speaking PM requires both technical as well management skills leading the whole team as well as meeting up with costumer’s requirements while SE takes thorough care of the requirements of costumers and try achieving their expectations technically.
