• D. Thursday

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Thursday

In a month with 31 days, any day that falls on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd of the month will occur five times.

Step-by-step Calculation:

1. Find the 1st day of the month:

   • 11th day = Saturday

   • 4th day (11 - 7) = Saturday

   • 3rd day = Friday

   • 2nd day = Thursday

   • 1st day = Wednesday

2. Identify the days occurring 5 times:
   In a 31-day month, the days falling on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd repeat five times.

   • 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th = Wednesday

   • 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th = Thursday

   • 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st = Friday

Answer:
The days that will occur five times are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
