Explanation
{"question_number": 1, "question": "Which crontab entry runs /scripts/backup.sh every Monday at 2:05 a.m.?", "correct_answer": "C", "explanation": "The crontab field order is: minute hour day_of_month month day_of_week command. For 2:05 a.m. every Monday: minute=5, hour=2, day_of_month=* (any), month=* (any), day_of_week=1 (Monday, where 0=Sunday). That gives '5 2 * * 1 /scripts/backup.sh', which matches option C. Option E has the correct format but uses 0 for day_of_week (Sunday, not Monday). Options A, B, and D have the fields in the wrong order or wrong values.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 3}
