Once a month, five old friends get together for breakfast. One thing that they all have in common is that every month they always order the same breakfast - bacon, eggs over medium, and orange juice. The only difference in each person’s order from that of the others is in his or her choice of bread (toast or biscuits) and the kind of jelly or jam each used (one person prefers strawberry jam). From the clues, determine what each person orders to complete his or her meal of bacon, eggs, and orange juice.
1. Kevin and Martha (one of whom always uses apple jelly) have the whole wheat toast and the rye toast, in some order.
2. Either Jason or Brett orders white toast and the other always uses grape jelly on his toast.
3. One person always spreads his or her whole wheat toast with blackberry jam.
4. Jason isn’t the person who orders toast made from sourdough bread.
5. Either Alicia or Martha prefer biscuits instead of toast with her breakfast.
6. Martha doesn’t care for blackberry jam.
7. The person who always uses orange marmalade as a spread isn’t the person who orders white toast.
