Relative days – If the day before yesterday was Thursday, identify on which day Sunday will fall relative to today.

Introduction / Context:This question checks comfort with relative day phrases (yesterday, day before yesterday, tomorrow) and mapping them to the weekly cycle.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Day before yesterday = Thursday.
• We must state when Sunday occurs relative to today.

Concept / Approach:If day before yesterday is Thursday, two days have passed since Thursday to reach today. Therefore, today is Saturday. Compute Sunday relative to a Saturday “today.”

Step-by-Step Solution:Day before yesterday = Thursday.Yesterday = Friday.Today = Saturday.Sunday occurs one day after Saturday.

Verification / Alternative check:Counting backwards from Sunday (tomorrow): Tomorrow = Sunday implies today = Saturday; then yesterday = Friday; day before yesterday = Thursday, which matches the premise.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:“Day after tomorrow” would make today Friday; “Today” would imply Sunday = Saturday; “Two days after today” would place Sunday on Monday. All conflict with the established sequence.

Common Pitfalls:Misplacing “day before yesterday” (two days earlier) and treating it as “yesterday.”

Final Answer:Tomorrow
