C. S
D. T

Correct Answer: B ✅

6. If P is on hook 2, Q must be on which hook?

D. 5

Correct Answer: B ✅
P is immediately left of Q → Q must be hook 3.

7. If S is on hook 3 and R is on hook 5, which of these must be true?

A. T is on hook 4 or 6
B. P is on hook 1
C. Q is on hook 2
D. U is on hook 6

8. If T is placed on hook 6, which painting CANNOT be on hook 5?

A. R
B. Q
C. U
D. S

Correct Answer: B ✅
If Q were on 5, P must be on 4 (P left of Q), but R cannot be on an end and remaining spots may conflict with R’s placement—Q on 5 forces placements that can violate R’s non-end rule in typical feasible arrangements, so Q on 5 is not allowed when T is fixed at 6.
