If N is second, then T must go third, since N is always before T (rule 3).
The question also says that N is not summarized. This means that both T and R are summarized (rule 2).
A is CORRECT. Since N is not summarized, there’s no reason we can’t summarize F.
B is wrong because K is beside R, and R is summarized.
C is wrong because O is beside T, and T is summarized.
D doesn’t work on this question since N is second, and T must go after N.
E doesn’t work because T is third, after N. And since N is not summarized, T must be summarized (rule 2).

So this one is not a local question and is directly based on the main diagram or so it seems. Although it starts with “if”?

When the first answer is correct, do you spend the time to go through the other answers? If so, why?

Yes, it’s important to quickly scan through the other answers. This serves two purposes:
(1) It serves as a check against a student misunderstanding the original setup of the game. Even if you misunderstand a game, you might come to an answer that appears in a list of answer choices, and immediately circle it. If you check the other answers, you might notice that another answer appears correct based on your (incorrect) setup.
(2) It serves as a check against a student misunderstanding the specific question. If you understand a question correctly, there will only be one correct answer. If you misunderstand a question you might see multiple correct answers based on your setup, which will indicate to you that you need to go back and re-read the question or revisit your setup.
