Password security questions

I'm studying for the A+ essentials exam. I have 2 test questions which on the surface seem the same to me, but the answers were very different. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into why this is the case?

Question 1: If you come across some one who has left their password on a sticky note attached to their monitor, what should you do? Answer: Call the supervisor.

Question 2: If you come across some one who has a file on their desktop named "passwords", what should you do? Answer: Explain the dangers of doing such a thing.

I don't understand why the answers to these questions would be different.

Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. I think you should do both in either situation, so I think they both could be considered correct. I doubt you'll get an actual exam question that has two correct answers like that (unless it's one where they instruct you to select all correct answers).
