Email: Thursday Practice

From: Coach Ramirez To: Robotics Club Subject: Thursday practice is moving

Hello, Robotics Club members,

This Thursday we will not meet in Room 112, because the floors are being cleaned after school. Instead, we will meet in the library, at the back tables near the computers. Practice will start at the usual time, 3:15, but it will end fifteen minutes early, at 4:15, because the library closes then.

Please bring your team notebook and the sensor you took home to test. If you left the sensor at home, ask a parent to drop it off at the front office by lunchtime.

Our competition is only three weeks away, so every practice counts!

Coach Ramirez

The question

Choose the best answer.

What time does Robotics Club practice usually end?

  • 4:15
  • 3:15
  • 4:00
  • 4:30Correct answer

Why “4:30” is correct

This asks the student to figure out a fact the email does not state directly. The coach says practice will end "fifteen minutes early, at 4:15." If 4:15 is fifteen minutes early, the usual time is fifteen minutes later: 4:30. It combines reading with a little math, which is typical of questions about schedules.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • 4:15 — 4:15 is when practice will end this Thursday, which is fifteen minutes early.
  • 3:15 — 3:15 is when practice starts.
  • 4:00 — Nothing in the email gives 4:00 as a time.
