Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Thursday
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Another chained-offset problem. We will again introduce an anchor “today = T,” express each phrase in offsets, and then compute the requested weekday carefully.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
From T − 2 = Thursday, find T; then evaluate T + 5. Counting forward on a 7-day cycle gives the result.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Compute via tomorrow first: Tomorrow is Sunday; four days after that is Thursday—identical outcome.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting that “day before yesterday” moves two days back, not one; or miscounting the +5 from today rather than +4 from tomorrow. Always reduce to a single offset from T.
Final Answer:
Thursday
