Answer 1

Karen Ruter is the carpenter, Laura Quintil is the jockey, Manuel Pauling is the firefighter, and Nevin Orton is the U.S. Army career person (soldier).

Step-by-step explanation:

Full Name:

• Karen Ruter - Carpenter
• Laura Quintil - Jockey
• Manuel Pauling - Firefighter
• Nevin Orton - U.S. Army Career Person (Soldier)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. From clue 3, Karen does not wear a uniform while working, so she is not the soldier or the firefighter.
2. From clue 6, Nevin is not the firefighter, so Nevin must be the soldier.
3. From clues 1 and 2, Manuel is heavy and has been on a low carbohydrate diet. This points to him being the carpenter. Laura is the jockey since she is small and in great demand.
4. Therefore, Manuel must be the firefighter and Karen is the carpenter.
5. This leaves Nevin as the soldier.
