Consider the following statements: I. Anadyr in Siberia and Nome in Alaska are a few kilometers from each other, but when people are waking up and getting set for breakfast in these cities, it would be different days. II. When it is Monday in Anadyr, it is Tuesday in Nome. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement I: Correct. Anadyr (Russia) and Nome (Alaska) lie on opposite sides of the International Date Line in the Bering region, so though geographically close, they can be on different calendar days at the same local morning time.

Statement II: Incorrect. Places in Russia west of the Date Line are generally ahead of Alaska in date; if it is Monday in Anadyr, it would be Sunday in Nome, not Tuesday.

Answer: Only Statement I is correct.
