Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13252)
The correct answer choice is (A)
As discussed during the setup, S cannot have been written third as it ultimately leads to a violation of the fourth rule. Thus, answer choice (A) cannot occur and must be the correct answer.
Note also that in question #1, a full, viable solution to the game is produced, and H was written third in that solution. Thus, for this question, if you did not have the S Not Law on the third position in your initial setup, by referring to the answer in question #1 you could have at least eliminated answer choice (D) as a contender.
