In a row of six seats numbered 1 to 6 from the left, R sits in seat 2 and S sits three seats to the right of R. Which seat does S occupy?
- A. seat 4
- B. seat 5
- C. seat 6
- D. seat 3
Explanation
Three seats to the right of seat 2 means 2 plus 3, which is seat 5. Counting the starting seat as one of the three is the common slip and produces seat 4. Reading the phrase as an addition to the seat number avoids the error.
