Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=237&p=88987)
The correct answer choice is (B)
This is another question where prior work can be re-used. In the first diagram from question #21, K and I sit across from each other. In that solution, M and I sit next to O. This information eliminates answer choice (D).
However, eliminating the remaining answers is more difficult. With K and I opposite, and I linked to O from the third rule, there are only four positions for the OIK configuration. One of those configurations is explored in the diagrams for question #21.
Of the three remaining solutions, placing O next to G ultimately leads to a problem:
Due to the effects of the second rule, when O sits next to G, there is no viable seat for H. Thus, G cannot sit next to O under the conditions in this question, and answer choice (B) is correct.
