Explanation
The critical path in PERT is formed by linking events with zero slack, meaning there is no delay allowed without affecting the overall project duration. Positive slack indicates extra time, negative slack suggests a delay, dummy tasks are placeholders, and key activities are important but not necessarily on the critical path.
