The diagram shows the structure of the official website for a certain film. Each box represents one page on the site, and each line represents a link between pages. For any of these pages (A) and any other of these pages (B), it is possible to navigate directly from A to B if and only if a line connects A and B and an arrowhead on that line points to B.

Select from the drop-down menus the options that create the statement that most accurately reflects the information provided.

Using the fewest links possible and only those shown in the diagram, navigating from the Viewer-Community Newsletter page to the  GRAPH_1_PLACEHOLDER  page requires visiting exactly  GRAPH_2_PLACEHOLDER .

Ans has to be Viewer Community login page is visited once.

AmirSafwan · Answer

Here, considering Home and Director Bio, it is not required to use another pages as a mean of connection. Rather, we can directly connect the both pages. Therefore O(Zero) page requires. 
For Viewer community login, we need Home page as a via to reach Viewer Community Login page. 
 Therefore the answer is Viewer community login and 1

Typo in the official question (?) or is it implicit that the second bubble is talking about visiting exactly one other "page"?

DiyaSouravi99 · Answer

The trick is to understand that at least one page has to be in between initial and final destination.

Pqbot101 · Answer

The main part where we get misleading is we assume its talking about the link. Whereas, the wording is basically number of page. I chose the option based on the outlier (Both the other page have direct links) and understood that it meant choosing the pages.

True that

Dbrunik · Answer

got this one - just remember that you cant "visit" a link. I know that the 2nd box should say "quantity links/pages" but think about it logically. you cannot visit a link. you are visiting another page. if you go from VCN to home, you are taking one link and not visiting any other pages.

Adarsh_24 · Answer

Why does the final destination page not considered a visited page?

Nsp10 · Answer

the keyword here is "other", so the Question is basically asking by visiting how many other pages {not the links} we can go from destination A to B.

Hi  KarishmaB   MartyMurray   chetan2u   Bunuel

I have a doubt on one more possible answer choice.
Why the combination  "Home"  and  "1 " doesn't work? My reasoning is the user can go from "Viewer-Community Newsletter" to "Director Biography" due to the arrow pointing towards latter and then "Home" due to double-pointed arrow.

Is this because of the word  "exactly"  which eliminates the above possible answer as there are more possible paths  (such as Director Biography --> Characters --> Synopsis --> Home)  which require visiting >1 page?

Please let me know where I am thinking wrong here.

chetan2u · Answer

The reason is the use of words 'using fewest possible links'.

We are looking for the fewest possible links and 'Home' is directly connected so no other page is required to be visited.

KarishmaB · Answer

To go from Viewer-Community Newsletter page to the selected page, one needs to use the fewest links possible. Look at the options available in the drop downs. 
 Viewer-Community Newsletter page -> Director Biography - Single click since an arrow connects them in the right direction. It requires visiting 0 pages in between which is not given in the options

Viewer-Community Newsletter page -> Viewer-Community Login page - requires a visit to Home in between which means you must select 1 from the pages drop down. We do have 1 there and hence this is the answer.

Viewer-Community Newsletter page -> Home - Single click since an arrow connects them in the right direction. It requires visiting 0 pages in between which is not given in the options

Select     Viewer-Community page  and  1

agrasan · Answer

Thanks  chetan2u , but is there any role of the word  "exactly"?

chetan2u · Answer

Not literally..
VLN can be visited from VCN after visiting 2, 3, 4 or even 5 other pages.
Be it with or without word ‘exactly’, the answer would be 1 page.

Usernamevisible · Answer

One doubt - shouldn't there be mention of the word "word" in the end ?

Because if it is 1 page than I understand but if 1 link then it is an issue - lmk if I am missing anything.

KarishmaB · Answer

Yes, ideally the statement should have "other page" at the end. 
If not given, use elimination to understand the intent. Both Director Biography and Home are directly linked from  Viewer-Community Newsletter page. So had it been visiting 1/2/3 links, both Director Biography and Home could be the answer in the first blank. They are equivalent. But we must have a single correct answer. So it must be intermediate pages for which they are asking.

egmat · Answer

Hi Usernamevisible,

Good instinct to check, and you're actually right that the sentence  reads  smoother with "page(s)" tacked on. But the number  1  here counts  pages , not links - and the sentence still works without the word.

Here's the key: look at the verb. The blank sits right after  "requires visiting exactly ___."  You can only  visit  a  page  - you never "visit" a link, you  use  or  follow  a link. So the thing being counted by that number has to be a page, by the meaning of the word "visiting."

The "links" idea shows up earlier and separately:  "Using the fewest links possible"  is just the rule for  how  you pick your route (take the shortest path). It is not what the final number counts.

Map it onto the actual route:

- Newsletter -  Home  ( 1  link, and Home is a page you land on along the way)
- Home -  Viewer-Community Login  ( 1  link, your destination)

So the trip uses  2  links but the destination is reached after passing through  exactly 1  other page - Home. If the number counted links, the answer would have been  2 , not  1 . That mismatch is your confirmation that it counts  pages .

One more nuance to seal it: the count is of  other  pages between start and end. The Newsletter (start) and Login (destination) aren't counted - only the in-between page, Home. That's why it's exactly  1 .

So nothing is missing that changes the answer - " 1 " = one intermediate page.

Answer: Dropdown 1: Viewer-Community Login; Dropdown 2: 1
