You are awoken at 3 A.M. by a knock on your door. Your parents call you to let you know that they are there for breakfast. You are confused but quickly think of what food you have. You have bread, jam, butter, and eggs. What do you open first?

“The bread”

While bread is an important part of breakfast, the riddle specifically mentions a knock at the door and your parents calling, indicating that opening the door is the first action to take.

“The eggs”

Eggs are also a breakfast item, but they require preparation. The immediate action in response to the knock is to open the door, not to start cooking.

“The jam”

Jam is a condiment for bread and would come into play after the door is opened and breakfast is being prepared, making it an incorrect first choice.
