- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 1931Explanation
Given that it is May 2010 and Ms. Jones is 78 years old, we can subtract 78 from 2010 to find the year she was born. This calculation gives us the year 1932. However, since Ms. Jones knows she was born in September, we need to subtract another year to account for the fact that she has not yet reached her birthday in September. Therefore, the correct answer is 1931.Rate this question:
