In the given scenario, we know the positions of Zeke, Yolanda, and Xavier relative to one another: Zeke is ahead of Yolanda but behind Xavier. This means we can arrange them based on their ranking in the race.

Since Zeke is behind Xavier, Xavier must be in a position ahead of him. Therefore, we can establish that Xavier finishes first. Now, because Zeke is ahead of Yolanda, this places Zeke in a position ahead of Yolanda. Thus, Yolanda must be in the last position.

Based on this arrangement, we have:

  1. Xavier finishes first

  2. Zeke finishes second

  3. Yolanda finishes last

This sequence clarifies that Yolanda, indeed, finishes last, confirming the answer is correct.
