This is another local rule question. Draw it.
We know we can’t have O and R in spot 5. This unfortunately doesn’t give us the answer; none of the answers put O and R in spot 5.
So we’ll have to think a bit deeper. We’ve already got yellow, green and red. We need purple and orange. The right answer will prevent us from having purple and orange in our chain.
A could be true because we could have purple in spot 7. Then all of our colors would be filled.
B could be true because we could put orange in 7 to have all of our eight colors.
C could be true because we could put green in 7 to have all of our eight colors.
D can’t be true. Here’s what happens if we put purple and yellow there in 6 and 7.
We need to put red after purple and yellow. And then we can’t put orange beside red. So there’s no place to put orange in the first 8 spots. D is CORRECT.
E could be true as we could have yellow, orange and purple in spots 5, 6 and 7. This doesn’t violate any rules and all of our five colors are included in the first eight.
