In a two-player game, the players move their pieces on a board that is marked off in squares, 5 squares wide and 5 squares deep. The five rows are labeled 1 to 5, and the five columns are labeled A to E. Each square is identified by its row number and column letter (for example, 3C). At the beginning of the game, one player's piece is placed on any of the four corner squares of the board, and the other player's piece is placed in the opposite corner. Players then take turns moving their pieces one square at a time, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The game ends when a player wins by placing his or her piece on the square opposite its starting position. Players may not move their pieces so that they occupy a square adjacent to the opponent's piece, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Abe and Bea are playing the game, and Abe made the first move by placing his piece on 2B.
Select the square to which Bea should move her piece to most restrict Abe's choices for where to move his piece on his next turn. Also, assuming that later during the same game, Abe's piece is on 3E and Bea's piece is on 4C, select the square to which Bea should move her piece to ensure that each player has at least three more moves before the game is over. Make only two selections, one in each column.Attachment:
