Which statement correctly lists the normal and lunch counts for pretzel sticks and cheese sticks?

• A. Normal 4; Lunch 3
• B. Normal 5; Lunch 2
• C. Normal 3; Lunch 4
• D. Normal 4; Lunch 4

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how standard portion counts are applied across different service times. Pretzel sticks and cheese sticks have a fixed normal portion, with a smaller portion used for lunch to help with control of inventory and cost. The statement that uses a normal count of four and a lunch count of three fits this pattern, showing four pieces in regular service and three pieces during lunch. This keeps portions consistent for customers while allowing for a slight reduction at lunch to manage demand and costs. The other options would change the relationship between normal and lunch portions in ways that don’t align with this standard practice, such as making lunch portions equal to or larger than normal, or making the normal portion smaller than the lunch portion.
