I have issue with option D and E.
Option D: If G is 5th we can either put O in 4th or 7th slot.
Option E: If G is 6th, we can only put O in 5th slot.
Am not just clear on why D is the correct answer.

Answer choice (E) is incorrect because there are at least two possible options for the placement of O.
Option 1:
1: H/S 2: S/H 3: P 4: L 5: O 6: G 7: N
Option 2:
1: L 2: O 3: P 4: N 5: H/S 6: G 7: S/H
Notice that both options meet all of the restrictions. L is played immediately before O. The news tape is played after L and there are exactly two time slots between P and G.
Answer choice (D) is correct because there is only one possible option for the placement of O.
If G is in time slot 5, then P must be in time slot 2 because it is the only time slot that allows for two spaces to be left in between P and G.
There are then two possible options for L and O: (1) time slots 3 and 4; or (2) time slots 6 and 7.
L and O cannot go in time slots 6 and 7 because N must go after L. Therefore, the only possible position for L and O is in time slots 3 and 4.
1: H/S 2: P 3: L 4: O 5: G 6: S/H/N 7: N/H/S
Hope this is helpful! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
