Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15627)
The correct answer choice is (D)
Since K, I, and F must all have higher salaries than M, it follows that M cannot have the third highest salary. Therefore, answer choice (D) is correct.
Note that a variable such as L could have the third highest salary under a hypothetical such as the following: K-I-L-N-F-M-G-J-H. Similarly, I could be third using the following hypothetical: K-L-I-N-F-M-G-J-H.
