Assume that floors are polished on consecutive instead of nonconsecutive days but that all other scheduling policies are unchanged. For how many of the six days can it be determined both whether plants are watered and whether floors are polished?
Correct answer: D. six
- A. two
- B. three
- C. four
- D. six
Explanation
Given that floors are polished on Monday, based on the question's assumptions, floors must also be polished on Tuesday and Wednesday - i.e., on three consecutive days. Since plants are not watered on consecutive days (that policy is unchanged), they must be watered on Thursday and Saturday. Neither task is performed on Friday. The correct response is D.
