Analyzing Partnership Constraints
The core rule is that no pair can work together for more than 7 consecutive class periods.
- Alice and Bob have completed 7 periods together. Therefore, they cannot be partners for the next class period.
- Calvin and Denny have completed 3 periods together. They are within the limit and can continue partnering or switch.
- Calvin explicitly does not want to work with Alice. This preference must be considered.
Determining Bob's Partner
We need to find a partner for Bob for the upcoming class period.
- Option 2 (Alice): Alice cannot be assigned to Bob because they just finished 7 consecutive periods.
- Potential partners remaining for Bob are Calvin and Denny.
- Consider assigning Denny to Bob. This would leave Alice needing a partner. The only remaining student is Calvin. However, Calvin does not want to work with Alice. This assignment creates a conflict.
- Consider assigning Calvin to Bob. This pairing is valid as there's no 7-period limit issue and no stated preference against it. This leaves Denny needing a partner. Alice can be assigned to Denny. This assignment respects the 7-period rule for Alice and Bob and also respects Calvin's preference not to work with Alice.
Therefore, Calvin should be assigned to work with Bob.
The correct option is A.
