    A Qesh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Ryan Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Sam Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Toni Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Qesh’s height is more than Sam and Paul but not more than Ryan and Sam’s height is more than Paul à Ryan > Qesh > Sam > Paul   Paul’s height is more than only one student, which implies that Toni is the shortest.   Therefore, Ryan > Qesh > Sam > Paul > Toni. So, Ryan is the tallest in the class.   Hence, the correct answer is (B).
