Explanation:

Sure, let’s break this down step by step so each clue makes sense:

- There are 8 people: 4 on sides (facing inside), 4 on corners (facing outside).

- Q and R sit opposite. Q is not next to V.

- Three between U and P (so they can’t be next to each other).

- S is second to the right of V; V is on a corner.

- Two between P and T.

- U sits fifth to the right of S (so S and U are not close).

Now, let’s line things up:

- If V is on a corner and S is second right of V, and “right” means from V’s point of view (facing outside), S must be a side seat.

- Q and R are opposite—let’s place Q (not next to V). V is a corner, so Q is not on V's side/corner.

- The only pairs sitting opposite according to correct seating are U and W.

Let’s check the options:

- U, W — This fits, after fitting everyone in.

- S, Q — No direct opposition.

- W, V — They’re not opposite.

- P, S — Nope.

- Q, T — Not opposite either.

So, the correct answer is option 1: U and W sit opposite each other.

That’s really how it stacks up—the clues slot together to make U and W opposite each other. Option 1 is where your money should be.
