This question says that Gagnon fills up one of the sections. Which section could that be? Not Sports, thanks to rule 4. So we can start building two scenarios: One with Gagnon filling Lifestyle, the other with Gagnon filling Metro. Let’s start with Lifestyle:
Rule 2 says there must be overlap between Lifestyle and Metro, so I placed one of Gagnon’s photos in Metro as well.
Next, rule 3 says Hue’s lifestyle photos equals Fuentes’ sports photos. Since Hue has no lifestyle photos, Fuentes can’t be in Sports. And Gagnon can’t go in Sports, so both must be Hue:
Fuentes needs to go somewhere (rule 1), so we must place Fuentes in the other Metro space:
So we’ve made one working diagram. This is a could be true question. So at this point it’s a good idea to quickly scan the answers and see if any are possible in this diagram. E is possible, so E is CORRECT.
(Note that explaining the diagram takes space, but drawing it should take less than 10 seconds.)
That’s all the work you need to do. However, for completeness you can also draw the other possible diagrams and make sure the other answers don’t work.
In the first diagram, we placed Gagnon in Lifestyle. If we instead place Gagnon in Metro, there are two possibilities. I’ve drawn them side by side below:
Gagnon has one photo in Lifestyle so that we have Metro/Lifestyle overlap (rule 2). Then the only difference between the two diagrams is whether Fuentes has one photos in sports, or none.
These two diagrams and the Gagnon in Lifestyle diagram above are the only possible scenarios. None of the other answers are possible in these scenarios, and these are all the scenarios, so we can be sure that E is CORRECT.
