Using the Method of Plurality with Elimination, which candidate is eliminated in the first round? answer

Since Round 1 eliminated a candidate, Round 2 begins with the 3 remaining candidates.

IMPORTANT POINT!!
Since each voter completed a preference ballot (all of which are summarized in the preference schedule above), we do not have to hold a new election. We simply remove the eliminated candidate from the preference schedule and adjust the remaining candidates appropriately. For instance, if a column of a preference schedule was B (1st), A (2nd), C (3rd), D (4th) and candidate A got eliminated, the column would be B (1st), C (2nd), D (3rd) in the preference schedule for the next round. In other words, for each column of a preference schedule, each candidate below an eliminated candidate moves up one place while the positions of candidates above an eliminated candidate remain unchanged.
