1. Jeremy Ross was the only person on his enemy list.  Where did he hang the enemy list?

Explanation

The correct answer is "He hung it in his tree house." This answer is supported by the information given in the question, which states that Jeremy Ross was the only person on his enemy list. Therefore, it can be inferred that he would not want others, such as his friends or family, to see the list.
