2. EMAIL FROM THE CAMPUS PRINT CENTER Subject: Poster pickup Hi Maya, your ecology-club posters are ready, but the cutter is being serviced this afternoon, so the sheets are still full-size. We can trim them tomorrow after 10 a.m. at no extra charge, or you can take them as they are today. Since the club's display is not until Friday, either option should leave enough time. Please reply with your preference by 3 p.m. so we can label the package. The counter closes at 5:30 today. What is most likely true about Maya's posters?
  1. They must be picked up before the print center opens tomorrow.
  2. The print center has already cut them to the requested size.
  3. Maya can choose between immediate pickup and later trimming.
  4. The ecology club's display has been moved to Thursday.

4. NEIGHBORHOOD GARDEN BOARD POST The south gate will be latched during weekday mornings while volunteers replace two broken hinges. Members should use the north entrance and carry tools back to the locked shed after use. Please do not leave watering cans beside the path, where they can obstruct carts. The repair is expected to take three mornings. We appreciate everyone's patience; this small interruption will help keep the garden secure and accessible for the rest of the season. In the post, what does “obstruct” most nearly mean?
  1. Decorate
  2. Damage
  3. Quiet
