    Thus, the earliest G can perform is when C is 1st, D is 2nd, and hence, G is 3rd.
    Thus, G cannot be the 2nd performer.
    General

    Let us denote the seven slots using the numbers 1 through 7 as shown below:

    We need to fill in the names of the performers in each slot depending on the information provided.
    Let us name the performers Amy, Bob, Chad, Dom, Elisa, Fischer, and Grant as A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
    Let us look at the information given in the question stem and see what we have got:
    1. Since Chad performs immediately before Dom, we can write "CD" as an element implying that there is no one else performing between them.
    2. Since Grant performs sometime after Chad, and Chad and Dom are consecutive performers, Grant must perform after Dom as well. Thus, we can represent theinformation as shown below:

    The "…" above implies that there could be none or at least 1 performer between D and G.
    3. There are exactly two performers between Amy and Elisa. This information can be represented as shown below:

    Thus, we see that the above information is NOT sufficient to assign even one of the performers to his/her corresponding slot number. This implies that there would possibly be multiple solutions to the arrangements of the performers. Thus, in order to solve the questions, we would need to use the information given in the questions.
