Question #5 seems a bit tricky at first, in that it requires us to check both the person and the them in the 4th position. But as we'll see it's pretty simple.
Specifically, we need a single answer choice here that CANNOT be in 4 as given.
Let's find it.
Answer choice (A) has F in 4 with R. This should instantly stand out as impossible—and therefore correct!—because F can NEVER be in 4! That would force K into 3 as part of the KF block, and three is already/always filled by G.
The remaining answer choices are all possible, as H, K, and J can each go 4th, so long as H is R and J is U (K can be either).
