Which durations correctly complete the 1-10-1 rule?

• A. 1 minute, 10 minutes, 60 minutes
• B. 1 minute, 5 minutes, 60 minutes
• C. 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 60 minutes
• D. 1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes

Answer: (A)

The durations follow a quick-to-consider pattern: a brief opening action, a longer period for focused work, and a substantial final review or consolidation. In this context the sequence that fits is 1 minute for the initial step, 10 minutes for the main work, and 60 minutes for the final, thorough check. The final block being an hour gives enough time to verify details, catch errors, and solidify what’s been done.

The other options break this pattern by changing one of the blocks: a middle block of 5 minutes doesn’t match the 10-minute emphasis, a first block of 2 minutes isn’t the intended quick start, and a final block of 30 minutes doesn’t provide the needed extended review. So the set that preserves the 1-10-60 rhythm is the correct fit.
