For each day, the table indicates whether the patient drank hot tea, took Allergy Pill X, used a nasal irrigation device, or slept with the window open.

1.   The patient never experienced severe allergy symptoms when he took Allergy Pill X.

To find this, in the table, we have to use  the Severity column  and  Allergy Pill X column 
Now, look for the days the patient took the pill.  4th,5th and 6th day the patient took the pill

On the 4th day, the severity is none. on the 5th day, the severity is mild. On the 6th day, the severity is severe. 
On the 6th day, the patient did experience severe allergy symptoms.

Answer No

2 .  The patient experienced mild allergy symptoms whenever he slept with the window open.

The patient slept on the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th day with windows open. The severity these days is mild.

Answer Yes

3.   The patient experienced only mild symptoms whenever he drank hot tea and used a nasal irrigation device.

Here, we have to use data from the table where  the drank hot tea column  and  the Used nasal irrigation device column  shows  Yes .
There are only 2 days when the pattern mentioned above is shown: 1st and 3rd day. On 1st day, yes, the severity is mild, but on the 3rd day, the severity is severe.

Answer No
