What state must a Chopstick be in for a philosopher to use it?

  1. Clean

  2. On the table

  3. Taken by another philosopher

  4. Not taken by any philosopher

The correct answer is: Not taken by any philosopher

Chopsticks must not be taken by any other philosopher in order for a philosopher to be able to use them. This is because in order for a philosopher to use a chopstick, it must be available and not in use by anyone else. Therefore, both options A and B are incorrect as they do not address the state of the chopstick being available. Option C is also incorrect as it mentions the chopstick being taken by another philosopher, which would make it unavailable for use. Option D is the correct answer, as it states that the chopstick must not be taken by any philosopher, allowing it to be available for use.
