Analyze the given information thoroughly and answer the following question.

Eight students, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, sit in a row such that some face North and others face South. No three consecutive students face the same direction. A sits at the extreme left end of the row. F sits second to the left of H, who faces North. Four students sit between B and G, and G faces North. D sits second to the right of B. C sits adjacent to B and faces South. E sits to the immediate right of F.

What is the position of F with respect to H?

Correct Answer: 2nd to the left

Let us analyze the given instructions step-by-step to determine the seating arrangement of the eight students (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H):

1. The problem directly states: "F sits second to the left of H, who faces North."

2. We can also verify this directly from the text without needing to deduce any complex arrangement, as the question asks for the position of F with respect to H, which is explicitly given in the problem statement.

3. Since H faces North and F sits two positions to the left of H, the position of F with respect to H is 2nd to the left.

Thus, F is sitting 2nd to the left of H.
