Dont understand what the question is asking
"Suppose that yellow lights decorate exactly two stores, not just one, on the south side of the street and decorate exactly one store on the north side. If all of the other conditions remain the same, then which one of the following statements must be true?"
"NOT JUST ONE, on the south side..." ok when I read this, I'm interpreting this as whether if it is POSSIBLE to put two yellow stores on one side of either the north or south of the street and still be allowed the remaining rules In effect.
Since the rule says that only ONE YELLOW is allowed to be on 5 which is on the north side, then wouldn't it make sense for IT MUST BE TRUE THAT ANOTHER YELLOW MUST BE ON THE NORTH SIDE. How am I interpreting this incorrectly? what are they SPECIFICALLY asking?? What am I missing here??

The new rule states that there must be "exactly two stores, not just one, on the south side" and exactly one on the north. This is a rule replacement question, so we are removing the old rule about yellow lights (rule 3) that limited us to one yellow per side, and replacing it with a rule that mandates 2 yellows on the south side and one on the north.
You're right that store 5 must still be yellow, so there is no room for another yellow store on the north side. However, the right answer (store 2 is yellow) has a yellow store on the south side, not north.
