To answer the substitution question, you have to look at the effect of the original rule and see which of the answer rules would result in the same inference. For this game, we have 6 people - F G H J K L - that are nominated to 4 posts - M T C C.
The rules tell us that: (1) F/G or neither (2) H(c) - > J (m) ~J(m) -> ~H (c) (3) T = F v H (4) K = ~C This last rule tells us that K can neither be a nominee for C nor for T per rule 3, hence if he is one of the nominees, he could only be a nominee for M (answer choice E)

@jtbean,
Rule substitution questions like these are discussed in one of our past Logic Games Office Hours that you can watch here: https://zoom.us/rec/play/ucZ8c-irq243G9OdtASDUKRwW467ffms1yQd-_pey0bjBnhWZAGjY7URM6njonyB3w36SKnP7nWyp9Y?startTime=1578088142000
If you're looking for additional practice with these, here is a list of more rule substitution questions: Oct 2010 G2 Q11 Dec 2010 G1 Q6 Oct 2011 G2 Q12 Dec 2011 G4 Q23 June 2012 G2 Q11 June 2013 G3 Q17 Oct 2013 G1 Q7 Dec 2013 G1 Q5 Dec 2013 G3 Q16 June 2014 G2 Q12 Sept 2014 G2 Q13 Dec 2014 G4 Q23 June 2015 G3 Q18 Oct 2015 G4 Q23 Dec 2015 G4 Q23 June 2016 G4 Q23 Dec 2016 G2 Q11 June 2017 G1 Q6 June 2017 G4 Q23 Sept 2017 G1 Q7 Dec 2017 G3 Q17 Dec 2017 G4 Q23 June 2018 G3 Q17 Sept 2018 G1 Q6 Nov 2018 G1 Q6
