How many distinct date names are listed as referring to the same event?

• A. 3
• B. 2
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (A)

Grouping labels that name the same date is the idea here. Each date name can be linked to a specific calendar date (year, month, day). When several different names point to that exact date, they’re all referring to the same event. To figure this out, list every date name, translate each one to the standard date, and then count how many distinct names map to that single date. In this item, three different date names map to the same date, so there are three distinct date names referring to that event. If you had four or more names mapping to the same date, that would be four or more, and so on.
