The student wants to explain an advantage of the Hanke-Henry calendar. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal? Notes: The calendar used by most of the world (the Gregorian calendar) has 365 days. Because 365 days can't be divided evenly by 7 (the number of days in a week), calendar dates fall on a different day of the week each year. The Hanke-Henry permanent calendar, developed as an alternative to the Gregorian calendar, has 364 days. Because 364 can be divided evenly by 7, calendar dates fall on the same day of the week each year, which supports more predictable scheduling.
- 1The Hanke-Henry permanent calendar was developed as an alternative to the Gregorian calendar, which is currently the most-used calendar in the world.
- 2Designed so calendar dates would occur on the same day of the week each year, the Hanke-Henry calendar supports more predictable scheduling than does the Gregorian calendar.✓
- 3Adopting the Hanke-Henry permanent calendar would help solve a problem with the Gregorian calendar.
- 4The Gregorian calendar has 365 days, which is one day longer than the Hanke-Henry permanent calendar.
Correct answer
Designed so calendar dates would occur on the same day of the week each year, the Hanke-Henry calendar supports more predictable scheduling than does the Gregorian calendar.
