10. B
    It has been assumed in the discussion that in the absence of Harry, he doesn’t sit next to or between anybody, and so in particular statement III is assumed. Statement I is assumed if Sue sits next to Mike which is supposed to exclude the possibility that Harry sits between them; statement II is rather stated and true, so it need not be assumed as a premise in the argument.

One must first examine the grid and circle the words that appear to violate one or more rules. They are: death [violates rule (3)] and (4) as well as V, because it is not an adjective; hotter [violates rule (5), since all other words in column Iv are either nouns or verbs; violates rule (4) unless faster is changed]; faster [violates rule (3); violates (4) unless hotter is changed but if faster is changed to satisfy rule (3); it will no longer violate rule (4), may violate rule (5) depending on whether dam and edge are lead as nouns or verbs]; greed (may violate rule (5), depending, again) on dam and edge]; gradual violates rule (5) after going through this, one can now focus attention on questions dealing only with the trouble spots in the grid.

11. A
    The answer is A. See the above analysis, you will observe that Rules (1) and (2) are not violated by any row or column; the other are.

12. C
    Two rules, (1) and (3), apply to rows; rule (1) is satisfied by all rows, rule (3) by rows 1,4, and 5. Three rules, rules (2), (4) and (5) apply to columns. Rule (2) is satisfied by all columns; rules (4) and (5) only by columns I and II.
