The correct answer is (B). An agent must be trained in month 2.
Let's look at what happens if we mark month 2 as an empty month. Remember, Rule #1 establishes month 6 as the other empty month. __ / __ __ __ / __ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Now, let's try to fill the diagram. Rule #4 says that S is the third agent trained, which means S must be placed in the 4th month in our diagram. __ / __ S __ / __ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Rule #3 says that Q is placed in the month immediately before T. However, there are no two consecutive months open, so this is impossible. Therefore, the scenario is invalid. The second month cannot be empty.
Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Why can S not stay in the 2 spot?

We have a rule that tells us that S must be the third trained, so S cannot be second.
