Explanation:
From the answers listed in the question the one that would be considered false would be that the less volatile the price of a security, the wider the bid-asked spread. This is because the bid-asked spread usually depends on the liquidity of the asset, when the asset has a large enough liquidity which causes the volatility to be low the bid-asked spread becomes very narrow since there is not much demand for buyers willing to pay higher prices for the asset in question. The opposite occurs if an asset is very popular and volatility is high which creates a much wider bid-asked spread.

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.
An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.
The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.

- A dramatic event occurs in Baltimore - it could be a natural disaster, a massacre, or an economic crisis, if things become too far from normal, people will want to learn about what is happening, and will look out for information in newspapers.
