Which one of the following is a complete and accurate list of the applicants each of whom must be interviewed?

Interpreting rules number 1 and 2 please.
Hi,
(This is a hybrid game: in&out, and, ordering)
Two questions please:
Would please someone help with rules 1 and 2?
Rule 1: Lim is interviewed second or third.
Interpretation One: Does R-1 mean that if one is interviewed, it must occupy spots 2 or 3?
Or, Interpretation Two: does it mean that L MUST be interviewed, and it must do so in either spot 2 or 3?
I ask because I am not sure why the answer to question 7 is Lim is the "complete and accurate list..."
Rule 2: Nasser or Taneguchi is interviewed last.
Does R-2 mean that the last spot, spot 5, cannot be occupied with any applicant other than N or T?
Or, does R-2 mean if N or T are in, then one of them must occupy spot 5; in other words, 5 must be occupied with either N or T when one or both are interviewed/in?
Thank you
Mazen

Would please someone help with rules 1 and 2? Also do the interpretations of these rules have different implications depending on the type of game, ordering, in&out, grouping, hybrid...?
Rule 1: Lim is interviewed second or third.
Interpretation One: Does R-1 mean that if L is interviewed, it must occupy spots 2 or 3; in other words, L may not be interviewed and that only when it is, it must be in either 2 or 3?
Or, Interpretation Two: does it mean that L MUST be interviewed, and it must do so in either spot 2 or 3?
I ask because I am not sure why the answer to question 7 is C (Lim) as the "complete and accurate list..."
Rule 2: Nasser or Taneguchi is interviewed last.
Does R-2 mean that the last spot, spot 5, cannot be occupied with any applicant other than N or T; meaning, that one of them must be in to occupy spot 5 or else spot 5 would be left empty because no other applicant is, according to Rule Two occupy it?
Or, does R-2 mean if N or T or both are in, then one of them must occupy spot 5; in other words, spot 5 could be occupied by applicants other than N and T if both, N and T, are out?
Thank you

Hi Mazen,
I think rule 1 is your second interpretation- we are told that L is interviewed 2 or 3, so L must be interviewed.
Rule 2 is your first interpretation- we are told that 5 must be N or T.

Hi Emil,
I appreciate your explanation.
However, I need some clarification. Does L have to be interviewed because there's no conditional statement attached to his rule? I assume rule # 1 means he has to occupy spot 2 or 3 rather than that he's either in 2 or 3 if he's in.
I have {G R I N/T T/N | L O } as my work for why L could be out (which is why I chose A).

You are correct in your interpretation that L must be in since the rule is not conditional. It does indeed look like L must always be in, and in 2 or 3
