Which cue-card item asks for the current day of the week?

• A. Question asking for the current year.
• B. Question asking for the current month.
• C. Question asking for the current day of the week.
• D. Question asking for the current date.

Answer: (C)

The concept here is recognizing the specific temporal information the cue-card item is asking for. The item that asks for the current day of the week is the one that requires naming today’s weekday (Monday through Sunday), not a numeric year, month, or full date.

This is best because it directly targets identifying the weekday, which is separate from the year, month, or the full date. The other cues would ask for:

• the current year (a four-digit number),

• the current month (a name or number representing January–December),

• the current date (the full calendar date, like month/day/year).

Knowing the difference helps you select the item that matches “today’s weekday,” rather than today’s year, month, or full date.
