C is stated as the correct answer but on the hypothetical that we worked through it has z not 1st if z is not first then O is before L according to the reverse of rule 2. Does C not break this rule?

Hi Logan, Remember that for contrapositives not only do we negate both sides but we also have to reverse the conditions. When our original rule is: Z1 -> L-O, Our contrapositive is If L not before O (or, if O-L), -> Z not 1 Because L-O is the necessary condition in the condition, it can exist on its own. That's why we can have L-O without having Z in 1. Hope this helps!
