You are working as an international manager for a major U.S. hotel chain in Russia. To provide good service for​ tourists, the local hotel staff put a sign in the hotel lobby that​ reads, "You are welcome to visit the cemetery where famous Russian​ composers, artists, and writers are buried daily except​ Thursday." What is wrong with this​ sign's text?

Final answer:

The sign's text inaccurately states that the cemetery is open to visitors daily except on Thursdays, when it should state that the cemetery is open only on Thursdays.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem with the sign's text is that it states the cemetery is open to visitors daily except Thursdays. However, it should state that the cemetery is open to visitors only on Thursdays, not on any other day of the week.

This mistake creates confusion and may mislead tourists who want to visit the cemetery. It is important to provide clear and accurate information in signs to avoid any misunderstandings or inconvenience for the visitors.
