Answer Explanation:
Infer
Since Requiem will be presented before Smooth Step, and Unleashed will be presented earlier than Trampoline, neither Smooth Step nor Trampoline can be the first piece presented.
At least one piece will follow Unleashed and precede Trampoline, so Unleashed cannot be the second to last piece presented.
Requiem will be presented immediately before Smooth Step. So if Smooth Step is the last piece presented, then Requiem and not Trampoline must be the second-to-last piece presented. On the other hand, if Smooth Step is not the last piece presented, then Smooth Step, Requiem, Unleashed, and Waltzy must all precede Trampoline. In that case, Trampoline must be the final piece presented, so again it cannot be the second-to-last piece presented.
So the two pieces of which neither can be the second-to-last piece presented are Trampoline and Unleashed.
First column:
The correct answer is Smooth Step, Trampoline.
Second column:
The correct answer is Trampoline, Unleashed.

For the second column, Unleashed must be two earlier than Trampoline. So, Unleashed cannot be second to last, getting us down to two possible answers. Then, there's nothing constraining Requiem from being second to last. So, the (D) must be correct.
