If G is visited first and J – fifth, we must also ensure that G is visited fourth, in compliance with the fourth rule:
To ensure that the M — G — M sequence is satisfied in this solution, M must be visited sixth, and either second or third:
Considering this is a Must Be True question, you should immediately check to see if your inference involving M is reflected in any of the answer choices. It is so in answer choice (E), validating that answer choice as correct.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is not necessarily true. While J could be visited second, it does not necessarily have to be visited second. This answer choice tries to exploit a Mistaken Reversal™ error students may make with the fourth rule.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is not necessarily true, because M or J could be visited second as well.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice is not necessarily true. M could be visited in week 2.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice must be false, because M must be visited sixth.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice, as explained above.
