Five rectangles, $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$, and $E$, are arranged in a square as shown below. These rectangles have dimensions $1\times6$, $2\times4$, $5\times6$, $2\times7$, and $2\times3$, respectively. (The figure is not drawn to scale.) Which of the five rectangles is the shaded one in the middle?

[asy] fill((3,2.5)--(3,4.5)--(5.3,4.5)--(5.3,2.5)--cycle,mediumgray); draw((0,0)--(7,0)--(7,7)--(0,7)--(0,0)); draw((3,0)--(3,4.5)); draw((0,4.5)--(5.3,4.5)); draw((5.3,7)--(5.3,2.5)); draw((7,2.5)--(3,2.5)); [/asy]
