Hi,
Had a look on the Crosswind simulation exam samples and I am not quite convinced by your answer on question 36.
It says that the PM has discovered that the deliverables due in a 1 week time should be delayed.Then you should brainstorm with your team and see how to create a workaround.

A workaround is used only when the risk HAS OCCURED which is not the case!The risk has been DISCOVERED so you can be proactive and then plan how to respond to risk
In this case, we would brainstorm and see how to respond to risk on a contingency plan if this risk has not been identified during the initial Plan Risk Response or risk reassessment if we are in Control Risk.

Thank you for your feedback.

This is Question 36:

36. A project manager is in the execution phase of a highly visible project and a major milestone is due in one week. The project manager has discovered that a vendor's deliverable for this milestone will be two weeks late. What should the project manager do?

(A)Do not report this problem in the status meeting

(B)Meet with the team and brainstorm how to create a workaround for this problem

(C)Halt all payments to the vendor until the deliverable is received

(D)Report the status of the missed milestone

36. Correct Answer: (B) Meet with the team and brainstorm how to create a workaround for this problem

Explanation: Meeting with the team and brainstorming how to create a workaround for this problem is the first step the project manager should try. Reporting the status of the missed milestone is the second option. Failure to report this problem in the status meeting violates professional and social responsibility on reporting accurate information. Halting all payments to the vendor puts your company in default of a signed contract.
