    I’m quite sure there WILL be an answer to this question in the exam kit. Kindly check that answer and tell us what is in the answer that you don’t understand. Posting a question and simply asking for an answer is like asking us to do your homework.

    The answer given in the Kaplan exam kit is C but I don’t understand how
    According to the ascending order the answer should be D

    D will be first if the list is in ascending order (A, B, C, etc). C will be first if in descending order (Z, Y…B, A)

    zainabriazkhushk1, you have written in the initial question you pose -“which one of the following will appear first when customers are sorted into descending order?”. Then you have written- “According to the Ascending order the answer should be D”. In other words you have tried to answer the opposite of the question asked. Hope this helps.
