A closure with a limited alternative
An original Hungarian notice reads: “A könyvtár hétfőn zárva tart. A visszavételi automata egész nap használható. Kedden tíz órakor nyitunk.” A reader wants to return a book on Monday and collect another on Tuesday. One proposed answer says that no library-related activity is possible on Monday. Another transfers the Tuesday opening time to Monday. The task asks the learner to identify the actual service and time expressions rather than apply ordinary opening habits. The text is newly composed instructional material, not a real institution’s current announcement. It gives no fee rule, loan-extension guarantee, Sunday schedule or automatic right to collect a reservation. Independent comprehension requires reading the Hungarian before consulting the English explanation. The available evidence should be kept separate from the reader’s own expectations about how a library normally operates.

Tuesday at ten is stated. It does not establish Monday opening or an unstated closing time.
