Answer 2

B) Answer is 336

Step-by-step explanation

There are 8 ways for a President to be selected, and have chosen a president there are 7 ways to choose a Vice (from the remaining people). Then, six ways to choose a secretary.

Then, 8*7*6 = 336.

I'm not 100% sure about this as I have used this method for 9 people and two roles, but I'm rather confident the same rules apply.
