    problem # 7:

    “Determine the switch actuation statuses (i.e. pressed versus released) given the “live” display of the ladder logic program shown here:”

    The correct answer should be
    Switch A = pressed
    Switch B = pressed
    Switch C = released

    If your question asked to provide the appropriate push button states to turn lamp Y1 on, then your answer would have been correct (unless I am overlooking something that I did not catch)
