Which day is observed as a PBSO holiday after Thanksgiving?

• A. The day after Thanksgiving
• B. The Friday after Thanksgiving
• C. Thanksgiving Day
• D. The Thursday after Thanksgiving

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how holidays are designated after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday, so the day immediately after it is Friday. PBSO uses the specific labeling “the Friday after Thanksgiving” to designate that holiday on the calendar, which makes the timing clear from year to year. This phrasing avoids any ambiguity about which date is being referenced since Thanksgiving’s exact date changes each year. The idea is that the agency grants the holiday on that Friday to give personnel a long weekend. So, the correct choice is the Friday after Thanksgiving because that is the official designation for the PBSO holiday following Thanksgiving. The other options either refer to the holiday on Thursday itself, or describe a different day that wouldn’t align with the immediate post‑Thanksgiving break.
