  • Cooking Basics
  • Swim SkillsCorrect answer

Why “Swim Skills” is correct

This asks the student to find information in a schedule. Only Swim Skills lists two days, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The student has to scan the day column for every class rather than read only the first one.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • Beginning Guitar — Guitar meets only on Mondays.
  • Cooking Basics — Cooking meets only on Wednesdays.
  • Chess Club — Chess Club meets only on Saturdays.
