Explanation

List some abbreviations to make life easier:

P = preparing exhibition space
S = sending out press releases
A = assigning security staff
U = unpacking new merchandise
R = reorganizing gift shop
F = printing special brochures

Days: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.

Know Key constraints

Reorganize gift shop (R) ----> not Tue/Wed/Thu ----> only Mon or Fri.
Unpack merchandise (U) ----> must be day before R.
If R = Mon ----> U = Sun (impossible).
So R = Friday, U = Thursday. First answer: (D) (Unpacking merchandise) must be Thursday.

Remaining tasks & sequence

F (print brochures) ----> P (prepare space) ----> A (assign security), with F exactly 1 day before P, and P before A.

Possible F–P pairs:
Mon–Tue
Tue–Wed
Wed–Thu (Thu already has U, but two tasks on Thu allowed)
A must be after P.

Task with no restrictions

Sending press releases (S) has no constraints ----> can be any day. Second answer: B (Sending press releases) could be any day.

Answer:
Thursday: Unpacking new merchandise
Any day: Sending out press releases
