Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Starting with the rules, it is clear that Statement A can be rejected out of
hand, as it has Sop being performed before Cop, which is a direct violation of the second condition listed
in the question. Similarly, Statement B can also be rejected out of hand, because it has Hop following
Top and Mop, whereas the first condition listed specifically states that Hop must be performed before
Top and Mop; therefore, it is an invalid statement. In Statement D, Hop is listed after Mop, so for the
same reasons, Statement D is an invalid statement and must be discarded. Only Statement C properly
orders the poem in accordance with the initial rules laid out in the question; thus, C is the correct
answer.
