Given that K and M are seated at different tables, we can assign them alternately to tables 1 and 2. L and V must then be assigned also to either tables 1 or 2, creating the one table with 3 sponsors. The remaining 2 tables will have 2 sponsors each. Answer choice (E) must be true, there are exactly 2 sponsors seated at table 3.

Incorrect Answers
(A) could be false as L and V could be seated with M.
(B) must be false as L and Q cannot sit at the same table--the table L is seated at must be assigned L, V, and one of K or M.
(C) could be false as L and V could be seated with K.
(D) could be false as there could be 3 sponsors seated at table 1.
