(1) From the question, if Eugene lives immediately above Damaris, then Eugene can only live between floors 1 to 4.

And Damaris can only live between floors 2 to 5.

Guzal can only live on floors 1 or 5

Siince Cindy cannot live on the first floor, she can only live between floors 2 to 5, Since Fareed does not live immediately below Damaris. Fareed can live between floors 1 to 5.

Hence the answer is Fareed, option D
