Which one of the following could be the assignment of applications to officers?

The distribution 4-1-1-1 should be eliminated once Rule 2 is introduced. Rule 2: "Farrell's application must be evaluated by the same officer who evaluates Lopez's application." I interpreted this rule to mean F and L go to the same evaluating officer, which leaves two distributions: 3-2-1-1, or 2-2-2-1. That also impacts the distributions for the last rule, rule 5: "Smith must evaluate more of the applications than Tipton does." S more than T, but S cannot evaluate 4 applications. The most number of applications S can evaluate are 3, and the least number is 2, because T cannot have less than one application per the text of the game. Am I missing something or misreading the rules, or am I safe interpreting the game rules to exclude the distribution 4-1-1-1? Please let me know if I am wrong? Thank You LSATMAX
