Examiner's comments: The examiners commented that only 31% of students chose the correct option. Steve, Sam, and Sunny all have support roles and the words 'administration' and 'information technology' should have immediately indicated a support role for Steve and Sam. Sunny's procurement role was not so clear cut but the responsibilities for dealing with the suppliers are sufficient to conclude that Sunny also has a support role.
