The article mentions that the storm's timing was important. Sandy struck on a Choose one: A. Monday B. Tuesday C. Wednesday D. Saturday so that workers were out of work for many days. If, instead, the storm had hit the coast on a weekend, people would have missed fewer work days

Answer 1

Answer: A. Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

In the article, Storm keeping Millions From Work May Slow Economic Growth by Jeff Kearns, he notes that the timing of Hurricane Sandy was important because Hurricane Sandy struck on a Monday which is the first day of work in the week for many. As a result they had to miss work for most working days which definitely had an impact on Economic output.

Had the Hurricane struck on the weekend then people would have missed less working days and so the effect on the Economy would have been less.
