Janet is conducting an informal marketing/sales event at her local soup kitchen. When speaking to the Activities Director, lunch is served daily from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM. Which of the following is a compliant time when Janet can host her event?

• A. 9 am to 11 am
• B. 11 am to 1 pm
• C. 1 pm to 3 pm
• D. 3 pm to 5 pm

Answer: (A)

Scheduling around meal service is the key idea. Since lunch is served from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, any event should avoid that window to prevent interrupting guests and kitchen operations. The only option that occurs entirely before lunch begins is the morning period prior to 11:00 AM, which does not overlap with meal service and thus fits the requirement for a compliant time. Times during lunch or immediately after could interfere with service, staffing, or cleanup, so they aren’t considered compliant given the stated lunch schedule. Therefore, the compliant window is the morning before lunch.
