Thanks for the question! We're told in the stimulus that there are nine new workers: BCDEFGHIJ. We know that two pairs of workers (FI and CG) were hired on the same day; everyone else was hired on another day. This means that there were a total of 7 days of hiring. Then, the rest of the clues allow us to make a sequence that looks like the following, with each slot representing a day:
H
D - E - B - J - GC / IF
And note that no matter what order you pick for the first three days, E has three days going in front of it, and so E has to be on the fourth day, so the answer is (A). IF, D, and H all have to be hired before E. Hope this helps!
