Answer 2

Jen's favorite subject: Science.

Grade: 8th

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question we can form a table as follows:

It was given that:

• Betty and the 4th grader do not like science also the student who likes math is not in 4th grade.

This means that the student in 4th grade likes Art.

Also it is given that:

Sue likes art best and is not in 8th grade.

This means that Sue is in 4th grade and likes Art.

• Jen is 2 grades ahead of the girl who likes math. This means that the math student has to be in sixth grade so that Jen occupies the last i.e. 8th grade.

Hence Betty likes math and is in sixth grade.

and Jen likes science and is in 8th grade.

Hence,

Jen's favorite subject: Science.

Grade: 8th
