Answer: Option
Explanation:
The fact that Vincent and Thomas live on the same street indicates that they live in the same neighborhood. There is no support for any of the other choices.

Vincent distributes papers daily so he knows every people or house where papers will be delivered but thomas cannot to do so, so he will take more time than vincent.

Well I reject the first answer due to the fact that if it takes Vincent 50 minutes to deliver newspapers on a street and his house is one end of this really long street (if it takes 50 minutes to cross) then they most like don't live in the same neighborhood. Same street basically doesn't necessarily mean same neighborhood. So I reject A unless the time to deliver the newspapers becomes smaller.

Actually, the answer is option A because they have mentioned that Vincent is I'll in the same street one boy named Thomas has done the same work so they have asked that who will be doing his remaining work.
So the answer has given already is right.

Yeah. The given answer is absolutely correct. Since they have mentioned that the answer should be relevant to the subject that they provided.

I think the fact that Thomas can deliver the papers on behalf of Vincent when he's sick is a clear indicator that they both live in same street then only it is justified that there's no other logical support for other choices.
