--questions--

--text--

Is the team obligated to focus on the critical systems first?

--answers--

No.

Yes.

--feedback--

Should suggests a strong recommendation, not an obligation. If it were an obligation, Jake would say must instead of should.

--video-solution--

1

--explanation--

Should is a modal verb that expresses advice, recommendation, or the best course of action — but not an obligation.

• You should update your password regularly. - It's a good idea to change your password often for security.

• You should check for errors in the code before running it. - It's a good practice to find mistakes before executing the code.

Since Jake says we should focus on the critical systems first, he is giving a strong recommendation, but the team is not strictly obligated to do it.
