Solution

To answer these questions, we need to arrange the information given in the passage.

From the passage, we know that:

  1. The shoe shop is on the right hand side of the candy shop which Paul owns.
  2. Sam owns the shop which is immediately left to the shop which Jack owns.
  3. Either Jack or Mary owns the toy shop which is to the immediate left of the shoe shop.
  4. The shop that Paul owns is immediately to the left of Mary's shop.
  5. Jack's shop is between the shoe shop and Lisa's shop.

From these points, we can deduce the following:

  • Paul owns the candy shop.
  • The shoe shop is to the right of the candy shop, so it can't be at the extreme left. Therefore, Paul's candy shop can't be at the extreme right.
  • Mary's shop is to the right of Paul's candy shop, so Mary can't own the shop at the extreme left.
  • Jack's shop is to the right of Sam's shop and to the left of the shoe shop, so Jack can't own the shop at the extreme right.
  • Lisa's shop is to the right of Jack's shop, so Lisa can't own the shop at the extreme left.
  • The toy shop is to the left of the shoe shop, so it can't be at the extreme right.

So, the arrangement of the shops from left to right is: Garments, Candy (Paul), Toy (Mary), Shoes, Jewellery (Lisa).

Therefore, the answers to the questions are:

Q 23. Mary owns the Toy shop (Option B). Q 24. The Candy shop is to the immediate left of the garment store (Option A).
