Problems are a part of life, and proposing solutions is necessary for a functioning society. Proposals may not always be obvious, but they are common in both the workplace and in everyday life. For example, you might have an idea about how to improve your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or have a solution to lower production costs at work. Creating an effective and clear proposal can help persuade others to adopt your perspective and move them to action.

4. Explain the proposed course of action in alignment with the supporting points introduced in part A3.
5. Justify that your proposed course of action is a suitable choice, using three credible sources to support your response.
6. Acknowledge the challenge(s) that might be encountered while implementing the solution(s) and explain how the challenges could be overcome.
