Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Between B and C
Place E at the left end (position 1) because the clue says E is on the left end.
C is second from the right, so C is at position 4 (positions numbered left to right 1–5).
C sits next to D and also sits next to A (A and C are together), so the two neighbors of C (positions 3 and 5) must be A and D in some order.
A is to the right of B and E and also sits next to B. With E at position 1, the only way for A to be right of both E and B and adjacent to B is to place B at position 2 and A at position 3.
That leaves D at position 5. The final order from left to right is: E, B, A, C, D.
Therefore, A is sitting between B and C.
