Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=298&t=12774)

The correct answer choice is (A)

The condition in the question stem creates an MGF block. Initially, it would appear that this block has two placement options: lines 1-2-3 or lines 5-6-7. But, placing the block on lines 5-6-7 would force F to be assembled on line 7, and that would create a violation of the first rule. Thus, the block must be assembled on lines 1-2-3:

Accordingly, answer choice (A) is correct.

Brennan,

The question, combined with the second rule, sets up an MGF block. This block cannot be 5, 6, 7 - J still needs to be after F. So the block is 1, 2, 3. That's enough information to tell that answer choice (A) must be true.
