Answer 1

A, B, E, F

- A: Closing for holidays in December could produce an unusually low value for that month.
- B: Summer tourists in August could make August an unusually high month.
- E: Closing for maintenance in July could produce an unusually low month.
- F: School holidays in April could produce an unusually high month.

C is less likely (museums rarely close for the whole of November), and D describes staggered school schedules that would tend to spread visits across months rather than create a single-month outlier.
