Solution Steps

To determine which two tasks do not have a break between them, we need to calculate the end time of each task and compare it with the start time of the subsequent task. If the end time of one task matches the start time of the next task, then there is no break between them.

Step 1: Analyze the Schedule

First, we need to analyze Officer L's schedule to determine the start and end times for each task:

  1. Supervise laundry room: Starts at 8:15 a.m. and lasts for 1 hour 30 minutes.

    • End time: 8:15 a.m. + 1 hour 30 minutes = 9:45 a.m.
  2. Search living areas: Starts at 9:50 a.m. and lasts for 2 hours.

    • End time: 9:50 a.m. + 2 hours = 11:50 a.m.
  3. Supervise visiting area: Starts at 12:40 p.m. and lasts for 45 minutes.

    • End time: 12:40 p.m. + 45 minutes = 1:25 p.m.
  4. Complete paperwork: Starts at 1:25 p.m. and lasts for 1 hour.

    • End time: 1:25 p.m. + 1 hour = 2:25 p.m.
  5. Training: Starts at 2:40 p.m. and lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes.

    • End time: 2:40 p.m. + 1 hour 15 minutes = 3:55 p.m.
Step 2: Identify Tasks Without Breaks

Next, we identify which tasks do not have a break between them by comparing the end time of one task with the start time of the next:

  • Supervise laundry room ends at 9:45 a.m., and search living areas starts at 9:50 a.m. (5-minute break).
  • Search living areas ends at 11:50 a.m., and supervise visiting area starts at 12:40 p.m. (50-minute break).
  • Supervise visiting area ends at 1:25 p.m., and complete paperwork starts at 1:25 p.m. (no break).
  • Complete paperwork ends at 2:25 p.m., and training starts at 2:40 p.m. (15-minute break).

Final Answer

The two tasks that do not have a break between them are:

\[ \boxed{\text{C. supervise visiting area and complete paperwork}} \]
