Which day was the last day of the year 1997?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
1997 is an ordinary year, as it is not exactly divisible by 4.
According to the rule, the first day (January 1) and the last day (December 31) of any ordinary year are always the same.
Determining the day of January 1, 1997:
January 1, 1997, was a Wednesday (based on calendar calculations or standard references).
Conclusion:
Since 1997 is an ordinary year, its last day will be the same as its first day.
January 1, 1997 = Wednesday
Therefore, December 31, 1997 = Wednesday
