Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
B is to A's right, so A must be at the left end (at the right end there is no seat to A's right). B is second.
C is third. D is not at an end, so D is fourth and E is at the right end.
Row: A, B, C, D, E. Between B (second) and E (fifth) sit C and D: 2 people.
Worth noting
3 counts one of B or E themselves. 'Between' means strictly between.
