Direction: Answer the following questions on the basis of the information below.
The six top songs (not in order) of 1968 were:
“People Got to Be Free” by The Rascals “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding
“Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro
“Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream
“Love Is Blue” by Paul Mauriat & His Orchestra
“Hey Jude” by The Beatles
Here are some rules about the order of the songs:
- The Beatles and Cream do not appear next to each other on the list.
- The number 1 song is not “Love Is Blue.”
- The songs by individual artists are numbers 3 and 4.
- The Rascals appear right before Cream and right after Otis Redding.
-
Which of the following is true?
-
- Song #3 is “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro.
- Song #6 is “Hey Jude” by the Beatles.
- Song #1 is “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding.
- Song #1 is “Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream.
- Song #3 is “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding.
Correct Option: A
As per the above given information in passage , we can say
“Honey” and “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” are either 3 and 4 or 4 and 3. The Rascals appear on the list right after Otis Redding, who cannot be #3 (or he would be followed by Bobby Goldsboro), so “Honey” is #3 and “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” is #4; therefore, choices c and e are incorrect. The Rascals are #5 (because they are right after Otis Redding), and Cream appears right after them, so choice d is incorrect. Since Cream has song #6, it cannot be “Hey Jude,” so choice b is incorrect.
