mrushdi GOOD QUESTION ,SAME MISTAKE
Gleeder Looks like the key is distinguishing between "can" vs. "should" in the answer choices.
bantoo same mistake! duds
kahh The best thing is to read the question and/or choices 3 times to fully understand them to note subtle changes in fact.
gill15 Im still missing something. I thought you can only use non-material non public information when used in conjunction with material public information?

You cant use one or the other.

Or is the question solely about the wording. That both are an option when mosaic is used?
