How this works
Read a control, then tick every goal it serves. Most serve one. Seven of the eighteen serve
more than one, so do not assume the answer is a single tick.
Select Check this control to see the reasoning straight away. You can clear
any control and try it again as often as you like.
Nothing here is graded and nothing is recorded. This activity is for working out
the idea while it is still in front of you in the chapter.
The controls
Work in any order. The question for each is not what the control is called, but
what would be lost if it were removed.
