    A receipt provides evidence for returns, reimbursements, and checking whether a charge is accurate.

Daily round

  2. Digital-life scenario: A message impersonates a service and asks you to open a login link urgently. What risk does this describe?

    Phishing creates false urgency so a target acts before checking the sender, domain, or destination link.

  3. Study-workshop scenario: What extra planned time protects a project from small delays?

    A deadline buffer absorbs small surprises, leaving the true due date for final checking rather than first completion.

    Answer: cool-down

    A cool-down lowers exercise intensity gradually; it is different from stretching a painful injury.

  4. Digital-life scenario: Which controls limit who can view posts or profile details?

  5. Study-workshop scenario: What position challenges or opposes an essay’s main claim?

    Answer: counterargument

    Addressing a strong counterargument shows that a writer has tested the claim against serious alternatives.

Daily round

  1. Digital-life scenario: Which security feature asks for a second proof after a password?
