Day 1
-Smooth Jazz Group (10th Grade, Saxophone Trio)
-Rock Your Socks Off (12th Grade, Vocal Group)
-Dustin & Karen (11th Grade, Flute Duo)
-James (11th Grade, Trumpet Solo)

Day 2
-Adam (10th Grade, Vocal Solo)
-John (11th Grade, Clarinet Solo)
-Rachel (12th Grade, Brass Solo)
-4 Blind Mice (9th Grade, Woodwind Quartet)

The music department must add one additional performance on each day.

Based on the rules above, identify a performance for (I) A performance that can be scheduled on either day and for (II) A performance that cannot be scheduled on either day, select one in each column.

Day 1 : Woodwind instruments (since 3 out of 4 are not solo performances); hence, additional performance should feature a Woodwind instrument
Day 2 : Primarily Solo performances; hence, additional performance should feature a Solo performance

(I) A performance that can be scheduled on either day

Susan (12th Grade, Flute Solo) -- can be scheduled on Either Day
Henry (12th Grade, Violin Solo) -- can NOT be scheduled on Day 1
Kimmy (10th Grade, Trumpet Solo) -- can NOT be scheduled on Day 1
James & Jimmy (10th Grade, Vocal Duo) -- can NOT be scheduled on Day 1 / Day 2
Susan & Tina (12th Grade, Flute and Clarinet Duo) -- can NOT be scheduled on Day 2
Jenny & Molly (12th Grade, Flute Duo) -- can NOT be scheduled on Day 2

Susan (12th Grade, Flute Solo) is the correct answer

(II) A performance that cannot be scheduled on either dayy

Susan (12th Grade, Flute Solo) -- can be scheduled on Day 1 as well as Day 2
Henry (12th Grade, Violin Solo) -- can be scheduled on Day 2
Kimmy (10th Grade, Trumpet Solo) -- can be scheduled on Day 2
James & Jimmy (10th Grade, Vocal Duo) -- can NOT be scheduled on Day 1 / Day 2
Susan & Tina (12th Grade, Flute and Clarinet Duo) -- can be scheduled on Day 1
Jenny & Molly (12th Grade, Flute Duo) -- can be scheduled on Day 1

James & Jimmy (10th Grade, Vocal Duo) is the correct answer

James & Jimmy (10th Grade, Vocal Duo) is the correct answer

Day 2 : Primarily Solo performances; hence, additional performance should feature a Solo performance >> why the additional performance on day2 has to be solo? From my view, day2 has 3/5 solo performances already which can already be a SOLO MAJORITY. Therefore, no matter solo or non-solo performance is added to day2, day2 is still SOLO MAJORITY day.

Please help me clarify my thoughts 🥹🙏🏼
