Final answer:

Using the given constraints, it is determined that the second event to be organized is D, since E cannot be first or second due to its required position before C, and B must follow D without being the first event.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which is the second event to be organized, we must use the constraints given:

  • E should be immediately followed by C.
  • B should be organized immediately after D.
  • One event is organized between A and B.
  • D or E should not be the first or last event.

Based on the constraints, E cannot be first, and since E must be followed by C, E cannot be second either, because then C would have to be third, leaving no spot for D to be before B. Since D cannot be last, and B cannot be first (because it must follow D), the arrangement must be:

  • First event: A
  • Second event: D
  • Third event: B
  • Fourth event: E
  • Fifth event: C

Therefore, the second event to be organized is D.
