Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Between the two dates lies 29 February 2032, because 2032 is a leap year.
So the gap is 366 days, which is 52 weeks and 2 days.
Friday moved on by 2 days is Sunday.
Worth noting
Saturday assumes a 365-day gap. Check whether a 29 February lies BETWEEN the two dates, not just whether either year is leap.
