Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=7428)

The correct answer choice is (B)

Because F is one of the interns whose field is uncertain, the best approach to this question is to show both possibilities that occur when F is assigned to R. The diagrams below show each written out fully (and not in the quick shorthand you would use during the test).

• F is assigned to R as a Writer’s Assistant
  
  In this scenario, K, H, and J must be the three photographer’s assistants. Because K cannot be assigned to S from the fifth rule, H must be assigned to S, leaving K to be assigned to R.

• F is assigned to R as a Photographer’s Assistant
  
  In this scenario, H must be assigned to S as that is the only remaining position. The positions of the writer’s assistants cannot be determined, aside from K not being assigned to S.

In each instance, H is assigned to S, and so answer choice (B) is correct.
