Is this a trick question? It says he was supposed to submit it on Thursday. Then asks when day of the week he was supposed to submit it on

D. Thursday.

I do not believe the GMAT plays such kind of tricks on words with us.
I think the question has not been worded right. Sanju can you confirm?

The answer should be Tuesday (33 = 7*4 + 5)

since it was postponed by 33 days, the day in which the assignment is NOW supposed to be submitted would be Tuesday.
