Q4 2019 is totally irrelevant for this question.

Wait, why would you compare Q2 2020 to Q2 2021? That's not year-over-year.

I’m confused about the Q2 2021 option. It seems too forward-looking for a year-over-year comparison.

I feel like comparing YTD 2020 and YTD 2019 could give some context, but it might not be what they specifically asked for.

I remember practicing a question like this, and it was definitely about year-over-year comparisons. Q2 2020 and Q2 2019 seems right.

I think we should compare Q2 2020 with Q2 2019, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option.

I think the key here is that the question specifically asks for a year-over-year Q2 comparison. So the right answer has to be C - comparing Q2 2020 to Q2 2019. Gotta pay close attention to the details in these exam questions.

I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the full year-to-date numbers rather than just a single quarter? I'm leaning towards B, but I want to double-check.

This one seems straightforward - we need to compare Q2 2020 sales to the same quarter the previous year, so the answer is C.

I hope the answer isn't D, that would be comparing apples to oranges. Q2 2020 and Q2 2021? Come on now.
