Children are in pursuit of a dog whose leash has broken. James is directly behind the dog. Ruby is behind James. Rachel is behind Ruby. Max is ahead of the dog walking down the street in the opposite direction. As the children and dog pass, Max turns around and joins the pursuit. He runs in behind Ruby. James runs faster and is alongside the dog on the left. Ruby runs faster and is alongside the dog on the right. Which child is directly behind the dog?

Correct answer: D. Max

  • A. James
  • B. Ruby
  • C. Rachel
  • D. Max

Explanation

According to the passage, Max is initially ahead of the dog walking in the opposite direction. However, when the dog and the children pass, Max turns around and joins the pursuit. Since Max is running behind Ruby, who is running alongside the dog, it means that Max is directly behind the dog. Therefore, option D, Max, is the correct answer.
