Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Reasoning summary:
Place brown at the bottom (given).
Because red is between yellow and brown, red must be adjacent to both yellow and brown. With brown at the bottom, yellow must be adjacent to red (for example the top), so red is a side face.
Silver and pink are opposite each other (given), so they form an opposite pair on the side faces.
Green is adjacent to silver, and pink is adjacent to green (given). The only side face that is adjacent to both silver and pink is the face opposite the red side face.
Conclusion: The face opposite red is green.
