If Salammbo is the fourth piece on the CD, then which one of the following must be true?

why C over E??
This was hard for me to decide because they both seem like they need to be true....because of the rules and setup with S on 4 (V naturally is 5), this forces T to be before R +S but this also forces W to be before R +T. So, i'm just confused on how to pick the right answer since they both seem like they need to be true. How can you decide which is better?

Thanks for the question! So let’s say we put S in fourth. Well, we know S is before V from rule 1, so V has to go last, in the fifth spot. ?Now look at rule 2, which says that T is either before both R and S, or after both. But we know that T isn’t after S. So T has to be before both R and S. That’s exactly what (C) says, which makes it the correct answer.
(E), on the other hand, doesn’t have to be true. Consider the following example:
T R W S V
S is before V. T is before R and S. And W is later than R and T. None of the rules are violated, so this is a valid setup, with W after T. So (E) could be false and is wrong.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
