In Tina's schedule, which activity takes the shortest amount of time?

• A. Client Meeting
• B. Data Entry
• C. Coffee Break
• D. Draft Sales Proposal

Answer: (C)

When you compare items on a schedule, the key idea is duration—the amount of time each one takes. A coffee break is meant to be a brief pause, usually only a few minutes, so it naturally takes less time than the other activities listed. Client meetings, data entry, and drafting a sales proposal are all tasks that typically require longer blocks of time to complete, so they don’t fit as the shortest. Therefore, the coffee break is the shortest.
