Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=1250&t=16333)

The correct answer choice is (B).


If M is not included in the tour, then the group of cities consists of H, T, J, and either O or S. As discussed in the setup (under scenarios 2 and 3), this forces J to be third, and then one of H or T is first or second, and the other is fourth (in order to conform to the first rule):

• ___ ___ _J_ _T/H_
   1    2    3    4

The first two visits are occupied by the remainder of H/T and O or S, in some order.
