Explanations
Wednesday is gone to singing. Now, two unassigned days remain before it and two unassigned days remain after it. Debate and drama are on consecutive days. We have to determine whether these two come in before Wednesday or after Wednesday. Now, it is mentioned that dance cannot happen before the singing. So, dance will be either on Thursday or Friday. This means debate and drama are on Monday and Tuesday, and not on Thursday and Friday. Thursday and Friday now remain unassigned, and events remaining are sports and dancing. Since dance cannot come before sports, dance is on Friday and sports on Thursday.
