Must be true possibilities:
Must be false possibilities:
"Employee X submitted receipts exactly 30 days after submitting the electronic request for reimbursement."
"Employee X was reimbursed for a receipt dated before the date that travel began."
"Employee X began travel on a different date than his or her travel ended."
"Employee X submitted receipts exactly 35 days after the date that travel began."
"Employee X's electronic request for reimbursement was submitted before the reimbursed expenses were incurred."
Must be true: Employee X's electronic request for reimbursement was submitted before the reimbursed expenses were incurred.
Must be false: Employee X was reimbursed for a receipt dated before the date that travel began.
Both selections are fully supported by the passage facts without any speculation. The "must be true" statement follows from the required sequence of events, while the "must be false" statement contradicts an explicit policy requirement that Employee X satisfied.
