Explanation:

1. Flowcharts are used to show the flow of input - data to processing and then to output. Top - down analysis is a design approach, checklists are for ensuring tasks are completed, and grids are for organizing data in a tabular way.
2. In the preliminary investigation phase of the systems life cycle, suggesting alternative solutions is usually done later in the design phase. The tasks in the preliminary investigation phase include briefly defining the problem, gathering data, and preparing a short report.
3. An organization chart shows the hierarchical structure and relationships among different positions in an organization, not the location of hardware.

Answer:
