Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

Eight parcels—A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H—are stacked one above another on eight shelves numbered 1 to 8 from bottom to top. Each parcel is bound for a different city: Berlin, Dublin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and Vienna.
Parcel D, bound for Tokyo, is placed on the topmost shelf. Three parcels are placed between Parcel D and Parcel C. Parcel F, bound for Madrid, is placed immediately above Parcel C. Two parcels are placed between Parcel F and Parcel E. Parcel B, bound for Dublin, is placed immediately below Parcel E. Parcel G, bound for Berlin, is placed immediately above Parcel A, which is bound for London. Parcel H, bound for Vienna, is placed immediately below Parcel C. The Paris-bound parcel is kept on Shelf 2.

Which of the following parcels is bound for Rome?

The correct answer is Parcel C.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We have eight shelves numbered 1 to 8 from bottom to top, accommodating eight parcels (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) destined for eight cities (Berlin, Dublin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and Vienna).

Let's deduce the placement of parcels and cities step-by-step:

1. Shelf 8: Parcel D, bound for Tokyo, is on the topmost shelf (Shelf 8).
2. Shelf 4: Three parcels are placed between Parcel D (Shelf 8) and Parcel C. Counting 3 shelves down (Shelves 7, 6, and 5), Parcel C must be on Shelf 4.
3. Shelf 5: Parcel F, bound for Madrid, is placed immediately above Parcel C (Shelf 4). So, Parcel F is on Shelf 5.
4. Shelf 3: Parcel H, bound for Vienna, is placed immediately below Parcel C (Shelf 4). So, Parcel H is on Shelf 3.
5. Shelf 2: Two parcels are placed between Parcel F (Shelf 5) and Parcel E. Moving 3 steps down, Parcel E is on Shelf 2.
6. Shelf 1: Parcel B, bound for Dublin, is placed immediately below Parcel E (Shelf 2). So, Parcel B is on Shelf 1.
7. Shelves 7 and 6: Parcel G, bound for Berlin, is placed immediately above Parcel A, bound for London. The only remaining consecutive vacant shelves are Shelf 7 and Shelf 6. Therefore, Parcel G is on Shelf 7 and Parcel A is on Shelf 6.

8. Cities Assignment:
- The problem states that the Paris-bound parcel is on Shelf 2 (which is Parcel E).
- The only unassigned city remaining is Rome, and the only parcel without an assigned destination is Parcel C on Shelf 4.
- Therefore, Parcel C is bound for Rome.

Complete Shelf Arrangement (Top to Bottom):
- Shelf 8: Parcel D — Tokyo
- Shelf 7: Parcel G — Berlin
- Shelf 6: Parcel A — London
- Shelf 5: Parcel F — Madrid
- Shelf 4: Parcel C — Rome
- Shelf 3: Parcel H — Vienna
- Shelf 2: Parcel E — Paris
- Shelf 1: Parcel B — Dublin

Hence, Parcel C is bound for Rome.
