Table 22-1
Three Friends-Stephanie, Stella, and Lydia-Are Deciding Where to Go

Table 22-1
Three friends-Stephanie, Stella, and Lydia-are deciding where to go together for vacation. They all agree that they should go to one of the three places: Italy, Spain, or Hawaii. They also agree that they will have two pairwise votes to determine where to go on vacation, with the majority determining the outcome on each vote. The first, second, and third choices for each person are as indicated in the following table.
​
​
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline & \text { Stephanie } & \text { Stella } & \text { Lydia } \\\hline \text { First choice } & \text { Italy } & \text { Spain } & \text { Hawaii } \\\hline \text { Second choice } & \text { Spain } & \text { Hawaii } & \text { Italy } \\\hline \text { Third choice } & \text { Hawaii } & \text { Italy } & \text { Spain } \\\hline\end{array}$$
-Refer to Table 22-1. If the first vote pits Italy against Spain and the second vote pits Hawaii against the winner of the first vote, then the outcome is as follows:

A) Italy wins the first vote and Hawaii wins the second vote, so they go to Hawaii.
B) Italy wins the first vote and Italy wins the second vote, so they go to Italy.
C) Spain wins the first vote and Spain wins the second vote, so they go to Spain.
