Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days, so every weekday occurs 52 times, and the 2 extra days occur once more.

  2. The extra days are the first two days of the year: 1 January (Friday) and 2 January (Saturday).

  3. So Friday and Saturday occur 53 times each.

Worth noting

Friday only is the answer for an ORDINARY year that begins on Friday (1 extra day). A leap year has 2 extra days.
