Using the conventional ordering in which Sunday is the first day of the week, which statement is correct about V = {x : x is the name of a day that comes before Monday}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: V = {Sunday}
The question specifies the ordering in which Sunday is followed by Monday. Therefore, the only day immediately preceding Monday in this weekly order is Sunday. A set records the qualifying day once, so V = {Sunday}. The explicit convention removes the ambiguity that could arise from different calendar conventions.
