could see how someone could interpret it that way.


I can too. It is easy to understand why someone would use "your" instead of "you're", but one is correct and one is incorrect depending on the context.

Agreed. However, the OP, as written, has one answer. I'm not upset that you or others were confused and got the wrong answer (2).

I just know if someone wrote this on a set of calcs I was reviewing, or if I wrote that, whoever saw this after me would want clarification. In my line of work clarity is important for obvious reasons, which is why I always use parenthesis just abt everywhere, so there is no question.
