Answer:

NMOPL,NOMPL,NPMOL,NMPOL,NPOML

Explanation:

We have been given that the first initial of each person’s name represents that person’s position as he or she is visited by Miriam.

We can clearly, see by the given case that nicole visits first and louise visits last that means we will consider the cases where N comes at first and L comes at last so we will have following possibilities

NMOPL,NOMPL,NPMOL,NMPOL,NPOML
