If (today - 2) = Tuesday, then today = Thursday. Add two days to reach “day after tomorrow.”

today - 2 = Tuesday → today = Thursday.day after tomorrow = today + 2 = Thursday + 2 = Saturday.
Verification / Alternative check:
Sequence: Tue (T-2), Wed (T-1), Thu (T), Fri (T+1), Sat (T+2). Correct.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday do not align with the derived Thursday baseline plus two days.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “yesterday” with “day before yesterday,” leading to a one-day offset error.
Final Answer:
Saturday
