MCQ - 143-777

Kate is trying to schedule a short series of films for a zombie film festival at the local theater. The festival will play on Friday night, and will feature five films: Shaun of the Dead, My Boyfriend’s Back, Night of the Living Dead, Fido and Dawn of the Dead. Each film will play only once. Kate has to follow these additional rules for scheduling:
• The last film played must be one of the funny films: Fido, My Boyfriend’s Back or Shaun of the Dead.
• The first film played has to be Night of the Living Dead.
• When Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead is played, it must be immediately followed by one of the funny films.
• Shaun of the Dead and My Boyfriend’s Back must be separated by at least one film.
• Fido must be the first funny film played.
• Dawn of the Dead must be played before Shaun of the Dead.

Question:

Which of the following orders shows the exact order in which the films must be played?

Night of the Living Dead, My Boyfriend’s Back, Dawn of the Dead, Fido, Shaun of the Dead
Night of the Living Dead, Fido, Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, My Boyfriend’s Back
Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Fido, My Boyfriend’s Back
Night of the Living Dead, Fido, Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, My Boyfriend’s Back

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

As given in the initial conditions, Night of the Living Dead is the first movie of the festival, as each option shows; however, the conditions go on to state that the film immediately following must be a funny film, specifically Fido. This automatically eliminates both Statements A and C, which contradict this condition. Furthermore, Statement B can be rejected, as it lists Shaun of the Dead directly following Fido, whereas the conditions explicitly state that Dawn of the Dead must play before Shaun of the Dead; since Statement B contradicts this, it can be rejected out of hand. Only Statement D provides an accurate ordering to the films based on the conditions laid out in the question, thus making D the correct answer.
