Answer choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because V must perform first or second.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice is incorrect because W must perform fourth or fifth.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice is incorrect because Z must perform second or third.
Alternatively, if you did not have the group information about the first three and last three slots, you would approach this question by focusing on the sequential relationships. The question stem produces two sequences:
When combined, these two sequences allow you to answer the question as well, albeit a bit more slowly.
