To solve this problem and to answer this question,
a student must do a lot of work, but, unfortunately,
he or she will learn NOTHING useful from this exercise.
Therefore, my point is that it is the way to kill time, but not the way to learn something useful.

If the two given points are opposite corners of the square, then the other two corners are (6,1) and (3,4), which are answer choices A and B.
If the two given points are adjacent corners of the square, then the other two corners "above" those two points are (0,4) and (3,7). (0,4) is answer choice C.
And if the two given points are adjacent corners of the square, then the other two corners "below" those two points are (6,-2) and (9,1). (9,1) is answer choice D.
ANSWER: (E) (4,6) can't be another corner of the square.
