Correct answer: Option C — Leap year. 2004 is divisible by 4. It is not a century year. Hence it is a leap year. Option A (Ordinary year) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option B (Century year only) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Cannot be determined) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option B — Leap year. 2000 is divisible by 4. Because it is a century year, divisibility by 400 is decisive. Hence it is a leap year. Option A (Ordinary year) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option C (Century year only) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Cannot be determined) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option A — Leap year. 1996 is divisible by 4. It is not a century year. Hence it is a leap year. Option B (Ordinary year) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option C (Century year only) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Cannot be determined) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option D — Ordinary year. 1900 is divisible by 4. Because it is a century year, divisibility by 400 is decisive. Hence it is a ordinary year. Option A (Leap year) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option B (Century year only) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option C (Cannot be determined) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option C — Ordinary year. 1800 is divisible by 4. Because it is a century year, divisibility by 400 is decisive. Hence it is a ordinary year. Option A (Leap year) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option B (Century year only) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Cannot be determined) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option B — Ordinary year. 1700 is divisible by 4. Because it is a century year, divisibility by 400 is decisive. Hence it is a ordinary year. Option A (Leap year) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option D — Monday. 884 = 126 complete weeks + 2 days. Complete weeks do not change the weekday. Moving after by 2 day(s) from Saturday gives Monday. Option A (Tuesday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option B (Wednesday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option C (Friday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option C — Friday. 855 = 122 complete weeks + 1 days. Complete weeks do not change the weekday. Moving after by 1 day(s) from Thursday gives Friday. Option A (Saturday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option B (Sunday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Tuesday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.

Correct answer: Option B — Tuesday. 826 = 118 complete weeks + 0 days. Moving before by 0 day(s) from Tuesday gives Tuesday. Option A (Wednesday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option C (Thursday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Saturday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.
