How come “free snack will be provided” is the answer when it is mentioned that snacks will be ready to buy throughout the day?
Hi user12743, thank you for the question. The correct answer is “Artwork will be painted during the event,” not “Free snacks will be provided there,” as shown in the screenshots below. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
I am sorry, I framed my question wrong. I meant why “free snack will be provided there” is not the correct answer? It is mentioned that “snacks and drinks will be ready to buy…” please explain
Hi user12743, no worries and happy to help. That answer is incorrect because “buy” implies an exchange of money, while “free” does not—it is not possible to buy a free item.
