Calendar / early vs late arrival (variant): Arriving on Friday, I am two days earlier than the scheduled day. If I had arrived on the following Wednesday, how many days late would I have been?

Introduction / Context:Again we compare two arrival dates to a fixed schedule day.

• Arrived Friday = 2 days early.
• Scheduled = Friday + 2 = Sunday.
• Hypothetical arrival: following Wednesday.

Verification / Alternative check:Count: Mon (+1), Tue (+2), Wed (+3).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They reflect under/over-counting.

Final Answer:Three days
