This question is a general “could be true” question about Fuentes. Since the question mentioned Fuentes, you should consider which rules affect Fuentes.
The main rule for Fuentes is that the number of his photographs in sports is the same as Hue’s lifestyle photos (rule 3). So you should look through the answers considering the sports section – three of the four wrong answers directly violate this rule.
A seems plausible. When an answer seems plausible, save it for review later. Eliminate easy answers first.
B violates rule 3. If Fuentes has two in sports, then Hue needs to have both lifestyle photos.
C violates rule 3. If Fuentes has one in sports, then Hue needs one in lifestyle. But this answer puts two of Fuentes’ photos in lifestyle, filling it up.
D puts two of Fuentes’s photos in the sports section, and one in Metro. So that means Hue has two photos in lifestyle (rule 3):
Now we have a problem. We need to put Gagnon somewhere (rule 1). But we also need to put one of Hue’s photos in Metro, so that Metro and Lifestyle share a photo (rule 2). There’s only one open space in Metro, so we can’t put both Hue and Gagnon there. This answer doesn’t work.
E is wrong because it indirectly requires four of Fuentes’ photos, which violates rule 1. Why four? The question directly places three of Fuentes’ photos: one in sports, two in Metro:
However, rule two says that Lifestyle and Metro need to share a photo. Since Fuentes fills up Metro, that means we’d need to place one of Fuentes’ photos in Lifestyle, for a total of four Fuentes. That’s too many (rule 1).
So A is CORRECT. This diagram does what A says, and obeys all the rules. I made this quick sketch beside A when I was doing this game, it took about five seconds:
(I left off the L, M, S in my own drawing, for speed)
