Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
Which of these things is hardest to know for sure ahead of time?
Watch out!
Don't overthink this!
We're looking for the most *unpredictable* event, not necessarily the one furthest in the future.
STEP 2
1. Leap Year
2. Last Day of School
3. Future Election
4. Past Election
STEP 3
Leap years happen every four years, so the next one is pretty easy to figure out!
It's super predictable!
STEP 4
The last day of school is usually set at the beginning of the school year, so while it might change a little due to snow days or other unexpected events, it's still pretty predictable!
STEP 5
A presidential election ten years from now is *super* hard to predict!
So many things could happen between now and then!
This is a very unpredictable event.
STEP 6
A past election is already over, so the winner is already known!
This is completely predictable!
STEP 7
The most unpredictable event is **C**, the winner of a presidential election 10 years from now.
