Scatter-Gather sends the event to each routes concurrently. Hence both route in this example will start in parallel. So total time to complete processing is 40 seconds which is option 3

Only one of the routes in the Choice router executes, meaning that the first expression that evaluates to true triggers that route1 execution and the others are not checked. If none of the expressions are true, then the default route executes. Hence only Route1 will be executed as it is the first expression. hence output of logger is Route1.
MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/choice-router-concept The Choice router dynamically routes messages through a flow according to a set of DataWeave expressions that evaluate message content. Each expression is associated with a different routing option. The effect is to add conditional processing to a flow, similar to an if/then/else code block in most programming languages.
Only one of the routes in the Choice router executes, meaning that the first expression that evaluates to true triggers that route's execution and the others are not checked. If none of the expressions are true, then the default route executes.

As can be seen in error message , SOAP service findFlights expects the SOAP paylaod. This can be set using transform message processor which forms SOAP payload before the Consume operation that contains the destination query parameter
