Answer: Choice B) You see a movie on Wednesday

===========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The event of "It snows on Thursday" affects the event "It is cold on Thursday" because the first event leads to the other, or vice versa. The events are said to be dependent. In other words, they are linked. We are looking for an event that isn't linked or dependent on "it snows on Thursday". So choice A is off the list.

The act of seeing a movie does not cause the snow to fall, nor does snow falling make people want to see a movie. The two events are completely different. So this is why choice B is the answer. Each event is independent of the other.

Choice C is likely to be linked to the act of snowing assuming that the customer doesn't have mittens in the first place. So we can rule out choice C.

Choice D would be dependent because snowfall can happen over a multiple day period. The event of snowing on one day makes it more likely it snows the following day (similar to rain patterns). So choie D is out as well.
