Park Street Library is planning to in-vest in a set of children’s DVDs for the library, but the staff members differ regarding which set to buy. To settle the debate, the 16 staff members decide to rank the following choices: Chronicles of Narnia(C), Family Classic(F), Anne of Green Gables(A), and Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?(W). Aware that sentiments seem to be evenly divided, the staff members agree to use the plurality with elimination method, with the Borda count method used in case of a tie. The results of this election are given in the following table.

(a) Which DVD set is selected if the plurality with elimination method is used? 

(b) According to the rules described above, which DVD set is chosen? 

(c) If the staff members had agreed to break a tie using the pairwise comparison method, which DVD set is chosen?
