                                         and then HANG UP
                and then SPECIFY FORWARDING
                        and then PICK UP HANDSET
               and then SPECIFY FORWARDING
 and then DIAL EXTENSION FOR DESTINATION
                                        and then HANG UP

2.2    Based on the initial goal structure indicated above, they indicate the following;

    Failure to add goals.    0%
    Failure to drop goals.    0%
    Addition of spurious goals.    0%
    Failure to check progress.    0%

3.1    What percentage will fail to choose the correct available action.    0%
 
3.2   There is no label associated with HANG UP.

3.3    What percentage will fail to develop correct action given a lack of an appropriate label.   0%
