Question

Which of the following are trails in the above graph?  (check all that apply)

We are asked to identify which of the given sequences form trails in the graph, with the instruction to check all that apply.

Option 1: AFDEA
- A trail is a walk that uses edges without repeating any edge, and each consecutive pair of letters must correspond to an edge in the graph. To evaluate AFDEA, check the edges A→F, F→D, D→E, and E→A. If any of these consecutive pairs is not connected by an edge in the graph, the entire sequence cannot be a trail. Without the graph diagram here, we rely on the provided answer key to determine feasibility. The key indicates that this option does not form a valid trail, so somewhere along these steps at least one consecutive pair is not an edge, or the sequence violates the edge-reuse rule for a trail.

Option 2: AFDIFAE
- This sequence requires edges A→F, F→D, D→I, I→F, F→A, and A→E. A trail cannot reuse an edge, and each pair must be joined by an existing edge in the graph. Given the answer key, this option fails the trail test—likely due to a missing edge among these consecutive pairs or a violation of the no-edge-repeat constraint within the path.

Option 3: DEJDIFD
- The sequence starts at D, then E, then J, then D, then I, then F, then D. To be a trail, every consecutive pair (D→E, E→J, J→D, D→I, I→F, F→D) must correspond to an existing edge in the graph, and no edge should be used more than once. The answer key marks this sequence as a valid trail, so each of those directed adjacencies exists in the graph, and no edge is repeated within the trail.

Option 4: BKEA
- This sequence would require edges B→K, K→E, and E→A. If any of these edges are missing, or if one of the edges is repeated later in the sequence (not the case here, since there are only three edges), the sequence would not be a trail. The key indicates this is not a valid trail, so at least one of the required adjacencies is not present in the graph or the overall sequence violates trail criteria.

Overall, the validity of a candidate trail hinges on (1) every consecutive pair being connected by an edge in the graph and (2) no edge being reused within the sequence. The given answer key identifies DEJDIFD as the valid trail, while AFDEA, AFDIFAE, and BKEA fail the trail criteria for one or more of these conditions.
