Which action most directly enabled funding for prizes and decorations during the Halloween event under a tight schedule?

• A. Asking for a small budget
• B. Asking for more volunteers
• C. Extending the event duration
• D. Reducing guest list

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is securing the actual money needed to stage the event. When time is tight, the fastest way to fund prizes and decorations is to request a defined budget from stakeholders or sponsors. This action creates a formal allocation you can spend on those items, making the funds available quickly and reducing ambiguity about what can be purchased. It directly addresses the funding gap by establishing money specifically set aside for these needs, rather than relying on volunteers, extra time, or cutting attendees to save costs. Bringing in more volunteers helps with labor and logistics but not with funding. Extending the event duration can increase costs and complicate approvals, not directly provide the needed funds. Reducing the guest list lowers costs but does not generate new money for prizes and decorations.
