Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=371&t=15040)
The correct answer choice is (C).
This can be a difficult question. From a theoretical standpoint, it would have been preferable if the question #9 preceded this question since ultimately the two question are quite similar, and the theory behind question #7 is a more complex version of the theory behind question #9. There are really two ways to solve this question: abstractly or by using hypotheticals. We will examine both methods.
Abstract Solution
Hypotheticals
Only two hypotheticals exist for this question:
Accordingly, answer choice (C) is correct.

Abstract Solution
Rule: H is assigned only once per the question stem.
Rule: F cannot serve on both the Quality and Sales committees (due to the local FM rule) and G cannot serve on both the Quality and Sales committees (due to the global GL rule).
Inference: G serves once on either the Quality or Sales committee, and F serves once on either the Quality or Sales committee.
Inference: Since G must be assigned to either the Quality or Sales committee, L is assigned to the committee G is not on, and since F must be assigned to either the Quality or Sales committee, M is assigned to the committee G is not on.
Inference: H, G, L, F, and M have now been assigned to their maximum number of spaces, and one space still remains on the Quality Committee and the Sales Committee.
Inference: K must fill those final two spaces, and thus K is assigned to exactly two committees.Essentially, K Hurdles the Uncertainty and must be assigned to both committees.
Hypotheticals
Only two hypotheticals exist for this question:
Accordingly, answer choice (C) is correct.
