This game is discussed in our Podcast: LSAT Podcast Episode 31: The September 2019 LSAT Logic Games Section
Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: https://forum.powerscore.com/lsat/viewtopic.php?t=31306)
The correct answer choice is (E).
If you made a hypothetical in question #9 (or in the setup), this is another question that is easily answered. As we showed in #9, answer choice (E) is clearly possible:
Answer choice (A): Accounting for the N
HM sequence does not leave enough room to separate P and S.
Answer choice (B): As discussed during the setup, H cannot be in case 1, and so this answer cannot occur. Even if it could, per the first rule this leaves no viable artifact for case 7.
Answer choice (C): As discussed during the setup, H cannot be in case 1, and so this answer cannot occur.
Answer choice (D): If J is in case 1, then H must be in case 7, and according to the third rule H and M are next to each other. Thus, there is no way M could be in case 3.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice.
