Q8

8. (C)
Question Type: Conditional


Here’s our first conditional question; keep in mind we want to sketch out a new diagram next to the question. We have two frames to choose from, and this question narrows it down by telling us that L dives last.

To answer this question, let’s focus on the cloud in Frame 2. Keep in mind that our task is to find the one answer that CANNOT BE TRUE!

Can T dive 4th? Sure, because that leaves room for W to go 5th, so (A) is out.

W can also go 4th without violating any rules, so eliminate (B).

In Frame 2, we know that P has to come after O (otherwise we would violate the last constraint, because P has to be come after either O or L). Given that constraint, putting O in the 5th position would leave no room for P. (C) is the correct answer. Move on!
