Explanation
{"question_number": 6, "correct_answer": "C", "explanation": "Year-over-year (YoY) analysis compares the same time period across consecutive years to identify growth trends while controlling for seasonality. Q2 covers April 1 through June 30. To perform a YoY comparison for Q2 2020, the analyst must compare Q2 2020 against Q2 2019 - the same quarter one year prior. Comparing Q2 2020 to Q4 2019 (A) is a different quarter and would mix seasonal effects. YTD comparisons (B) are useful but not the same as a quarterly YoY. Q2 2021 (D) is in the future relative to the current date of July 14, 2020.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
