Jillian has three different bracelets X, Y, and Z to give to her friends as gifts in any order she prefers. If bracelet cap y is chosen first, in how many ways can Jillian give out the bracelets?

Bracelet Y is fixed as the first gift. The remaining bracelets, X and Z, can be given in either order: X then Z, or Z then X. That makes 2 ways, so the correct choice is A, 2.
