Answer 1

The arrangement of the activities is as follows-

Reason- First of all, the guest list has to be made, and then the invitation needs to be sent and request from the invitees to send their confirmation. In the case of catering, the food and drinks are to be ordered and tableware needs to buy. In decoration, first, the banner will be bought along with the balloons and decoration will take place.

Activity list is as follows-

Activity Number	Activity	Predecessors
1	Create guest list
2	Mail invitation	Create guest list
3	Update RSVP	Mail invitation
4	Order food/Drink
5	Buy tableware	Order food/Drink
6	Purchase banner
7	Buy Balloon
8	Decorate venue	Purchase banner, Buy Balloon

There will be no predecessors for purchase banner and buy ballon as both will be done simultaneously.

The network will be as below-
