Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Three classes must be scheduled before Gs class (n/s . . . K, and I+l), and so G cannot be second or third. That kills C., D., and E.. p and o come after G, and so
G cannot be last.
That kills B.. So A.is correct.
•When you get a "complete and accurate" question, you can use the choices strategically. Any choice that is wrong in any respect can be eliminated. Sometimes, you can eliminate many choices at once!
•If the testmakers had been more sadistic, they might have made one of the choices merely "fourth." That would have trapped anyone that didn’t see that o and p could be together in the triple class, allowing one of the H/n/s trio to push G into the fifth position.
