Ariel, Bailey, Corinne, Darryl, Edgar, and Fei are positioning themselves on a flight of six steps for a picture. Darryl and Edgar will be on consecutive steps, but not necessarily in that order. Bailey will be two steps below Ariel, and Fei will be on the step third from the bottom.
If all of the people will be on different steps, select for Bailey the possible steps that Bailey could be standing on for the picture, and select for Corinne the possible steps that Corinne could be standing on for the picture. Make only two selections, one for each column

Manhattan Prep Official Explanation:
Step 1: Understand the Prompt and Question
Glance at the answers. The lack of any math and the short descriptions of positionings listed in the answers typically signal a Logic question. The prompt gives several constraints on which steps the six people could stand on and asks for the possible steps for two of the people.
Step 2: Plan your Approach
On Two-Part Logic questions, the goal is to get organized and adhere to all constraints. In this case, you can sketch out six blanks on your paper to represent the steps from bottom to top and then apply the constraints.
(bottom) __ __ __ __ __ __ (top)
Step 3: Solve the Problem
Put F on the 3rd step:
(bottom) __ __ F __ __ __ (top)
Since B must be two steps below A, there are only two places B and A can go:
(bottom) __ B F A __ __ (top)
(bottom) __ __ F B __ A (top)
Then, since D and E must be on consecutive steps, there are only four possibilities:
(bottom) C B F A D E (top)
(bottom) C B F A E D (top)
(bottom) D E F B C A (top)
(bottom) E D F B C A (top)
Bailey (B) can only be on the 2nd step from the bottom or the 3rd step from the top.
Corinne (C) can only be on the bottom step or the 2nd step from the top.

there are two arrangements possible.
top____bottom
1. A/C/B/F/D/E

so for bailey-2nd step from bottom, 3rd step from top
for corrine-Bottom step, 2nd step from top
