In sandwich assembly, alternating the narrow ends implies you should:

• A. Place the ends in a left-right-left-right pattern
• B. Stack all ends in a single pile
• C. Cut ends off before placing
• D. Place ends only at the center

Answer: (A)

The idea is to orient the ends so they alternate from side to side as you build, creating a balanced and stable sandwich. By placing the narrow ends left, then right, then left again, you prevent all the ends from crowding on one side and you keep the sandwich neat, easy to grip, and visually appealing. This alternating pattern helps the toppings distribute more evenly and makes the bite more consistent. Stacking all ends in one pile would make the assembly unstable, cutting ends off wastes product and isn’t about how the sandwich is built, and placing ends only at the center would look and feel odd and impractical for handling.
