(A) Given conditions: $1$. Order: $V > P > Q$ (where $>$ means finishes ahead of). $2$. Case $1$: $R$ is $1^{st}$ and $T$ is $7^{th}$. $3$. Case $2$: $S$ is $1^{st}$ and ($U$ or $Q$) is $7^{th}$. Given $V$ is $5^{th}$. Since $V > P > Q$,$P$ and $Q$ must occupy positions $6^{th}$ and $7^{th}$ (in some order) because they must finish after $V$. If $Q$ is $7^{th}$,then Case $2$ is possible ($S$ is $1^{st}$,$Q$ is $7^{th}$). If $Q$ is not $7^{th}$,then $P$ is $6^{th}$ and $Q$ is $7^{th}$ is not possible if $Q$ is not $7^{th}$. Wait,if $V$ is $5^{th}$,then $P$ must be $6^{th}$ and $Q$ must be $7^{th}$. Since $Q$ is $7^{th}$,Case $2$ applies: $S$ must be $1^{st}$. Thus,$S$ finishes $1^{st}$ is the correct statement.
