Three sisters—Elena, Freya, and Grace—each bought a different fruit: an apple, a banana, and a cherry. Elena didn't buy the apple. Freya didn't buy the apple or the cherry. Which fruit did each sister buy?
Freya bought the banana, Elena bought the cherry, and Grace bought the apple.
Freya didn't buy the apple or cherry, so she bought the banana. Elena didn't buy the apple or the banana (taken by Freya), so Elena bought the cherry. That leaves the apple for Grace.
