Question 11 Sequence

Given the way the instructor illustrates the chain here: L>P>N J>O>K>M Why is it that O is not an option for the top 3, but N is? Does it not also need J before it?

Hi @Dennison41,

I'm having trouble seeing the problem you're talking about on my end. Do you happen to know the test/section/question number?

@Dennison41, happy to help!

That is correct. J has to come before O, but it does not have to come before N.

However, L and P have to precede both N and O. This means that the earliest N can be is third, but the earliest O can be is fourth.

Developing a clear system of diagramming that works for you will be helpful in keeping sequences like this organized.

Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions!
