Ms. Forest likes to let her students choose who their partners will be; however, no pair of students may work together more than seven class periods in a row. Adam and Baxter have studied together seven class periods in a row. Carter and Dennis have worked together three class periods in a row. Carter does not want to work with Adam. Who should be assigned to work with Baxter?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Baxter should be assigned to study with Carter. Baxter cannot be assigned with Adam, because they have already been together for seven class periods. If Baxter is assigned to work with Dennis, that would leave Adam with Carter, but Carter does not want to work with Adam.

A (+) B => 7
C (+) D => 3
If C doesn't want to work with A, he should be assigned with B.
Therefore, C (Carter) should be assigned to work with B (Baxter).
Hence Carter is the required answer.
C (+) D => 3
If C doesn't want to work with A, he should be assigned with B.
Therefore, C (Carter) should be assigned to work with B (Baxter).
Hence Carter is the required answer.
