Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=16406)
The correct answer choice is (B)
Answer choice (B) is correct because F and H in group 1 automatically bring along J (from the first rule) and L (from the third rule). However, that means FJHL completely occupy group 1, forcing G and M into group 2 together, a violation of the second rule.
Note that the hypothetical produced in question #1 eliminates answer choices (D) and (E), and the hypothetical produced in question #4 eliminates answer choice (A). The hypothetical produced in question #2 also helps in eliminating answer choice (C).
