Now you can see that Michael has to be fourth. Even though we don’t know whether Paul crosses the finish line before or after
Nancy, we know that either way, Michael is crossing after Sue, Nancy, and Paul. The answer would therefore be (B).
What if you got a second question here that looked like this?
If you look back at your sketch, you should see that the answer here is (K), cannot be determined from the information given. Here,
you do not know whether Nancy or Paul is second. You know that both place between Susan and Michael, but you do not know
where they place in relation to each other.
4. Who crosses the finish line second?F. Sue
