To calculate the expected time of completion of the project, we need to find the shortest possible time it will take to complete all the activities. This is represented by the critical path, which is the sequence of activities with the longest total duration.

From Table 7.13, we can see that the critical path consists of activities A, C, D, E, G, and H, with a total duration of 66 weeks. Therefore, the expected time of completion of the project would be between 65 and 70 weeks. Option C is the best choice as it is the only option in this range.
