Hi Team - can anyone explain why Answer Choice E is correct but isn't G and R must perform earlier than T? Thanks!

christinecwt,

G and R can't perform earlier than T in this situation.

If S is first, then H is not earlier than both S and T. The last rule then forces H to be after both S and T. Since S is first, the diagram looks like this now:

S :longline: T :longline: H :longline: R

G can't be before T here. The second rule would then force R and S before T. But R is already definitely after T. So G cannot be before T at all, via the contrapositive of the second rule.
