Hi Mazen,This question is an example where reading the question slowly and carefully is the most critical thing you could do.
This question is asking us which of the following could be true except. This is really asking us which of the answer choices must be false. (That is, which of that are not something that could be possible.
More specifically, it is asking us which of the following is a pair that must share at least one thing in common. So, I think your interpretation was actually correct, although I'm not sure about the process you took to get there.
To your first question, we know nothing about G or L other than that they cannot have an R (since there are only three Rs, and those are H, J , and M). This is wrong because we do not know that they cannot share any items. Since it could be true that they both have S or both have T, this is not the correct answer.
For your second question, if you see a could be true question and there are four answers that must be false and one that must be true, pick the one that must be true. That said, this would be extremely rare.
For your third question, could be true except equals must be false. In this case, the "none" is just describing the thing that must be false.
I would also recommend checking out the discord board for faster responses this week, you should be able to access it through the app, or by asking service.

Thank you Emil. I see it clearly now.How do I access the discourse board? I contacted the service but they referred me to tutoring and the message board. What am I missing?
