Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=170&p=88166#p88166)

The correct answer choice is (A)

The best strategy on List questions is to use the individual rules of the game to eliminate incorrect answer choices. In this case, apply the rules in reverse order as that is the easiest way to apply them visually.

Answer choice (B) can be eliminated because when Q receives two stars, more than one CD receives more stars than Q, a violation of the fourth rule.

Answer choice (C) can be eliminated because according to the third rule I must receive the same rating as H or R.

Answer choice (D) can be eliminated because from the second rule H must receive exactly one more star than N.

Answer choice (E) can be eliminated because more than one CD receives more stars than Q, a violation of the fourth rule.

Answer choice (A) is thus proven correct by process of elimination.
