10. E
    The option E is correct, as each first mate spoke immediately after his/her captain. M was the 1st captain to speak, N - the second, then it has to be O or L - the third.
    

    

    The other options A to D are all possible orders of speakers. But in the option E there is a noticeable change. M and N are captains in the order of the 1st and the 2nd. G is a mate followed by D who is again a mate. It cannot be so, because a mate has to speak immediately after his or her captain speaks.

11. D
    If A has been supposed to be in the 3rd position among speakers of mates group then D has to be the correct option as an exception because A has been supposed as a fourth speaker after M whereas it has to be G as a speaker after M.

12. A
    Choices B, C, D and E are false. Since there are only 3 Mates in proportion to 4 captains it is more likely that if the second speaker was a captain - then the seventh speaker could be the first Mate.

    

13. C
    It can be represented in this order 1     2     3    L    A  O    7.
    Consider the condition given in the question properly. If O was not the last speaker, that leaves space for one more speaker at the end after O. So, quite obviously L spoke in the fourth position. Hence the correct choice is C.

14. D
    Choices A, B and C are absolutely inappropriate in the context of the conditions laid down.
