Answer 3

Hmmm, this one is driving me crazy! I'm not sure there is enough info here to answer it. I'm sure Roger is the writer, but I can't narrow down the rest of them. Nick could bew the dancer or the singer, I picked dancer. Orty could be the dancer or painter, I picked painter. Jeff could be the dancer, singer or painter, I picked singer. I sure would like to know what the answer IS and how to narrow it down!!

Answer 4

Use deductive reasoning :)

Roger is the Writer
Orly is the Dancer
Nick is the Singer
Jeff is the Painter.

Replace these names with the descriptions in the sentences above and you will see they make sense.

Good luck! :)
