Thanks for the question! So this question is asking us for what doesn’t have to be true if Q is more popular than L. In other words, this is asking us for something that can be false.
So let’s make Q more popular than L. Well, that means Q is also more popular than S and V. And H, J, and Q are going to be first, second, and third in that order. P also goes after Q. So can V be fourth? No, because V has to be behind H, J, Q, and L.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.

L could be fifth: H, J, Q, P, L, S, V which does not violate any of our rules.

why in question 8 does the explanation show "L" to be more popular than "S" when that is inherently obvious through the chain? is it just to be thorough with the rules?

@james in question 8 its not its not comparing L and S its saying S is more popular than P NOT saying J is more popular than J( it talks of J being more popular than L) so basically reread the question carefully.
