Why Not E ?? E looks the right answer to me.

E can be eliminated. in E it is mentioned that everyone who is over six feet tall has to help stack cartons in the stockroom; wilbur has to help stack cartons. but it is not mentioned where? so wilbur can stack cartons anywhere and thus be less than six feet

A - Definately Not the Answer

B - He can be just 6 feet too. It doesn't qualify him for being above 6 feet

C - My bets on this answer. This is the right answer.

D - No one knows whether Dr. Gray seated him in the second row of his seminar or just some other seminar

E - As written in the above post. This cant also be the answer.

My Answer : C
