H cannot be before 604, so why we are choosing F?(0 votes)- H isn't an answer option.(3 votes)

- [Instructor] Make sure
that you've already watched the set up video in which we
created the initial diagram that you see here. We're asked, which one
of the following cannot be the monument that was begun in 602. So we're looking for a
monument that can't ever be in 602 based on the rules of the setup. This should be fast because
we make these kind of deductions in the initial setup. We said that F and H can't be in 602. So either F or H will be our answer here. Glancing through the choices, the answer has to be A. As a quick reminder, the
reason that F can't be in 602 is because L is
in an earlier year than F and G is in an earlier year than L. So if F were in 602, there
wouldn't be room for G to be earlier than L and
then L to be earlier than F. So making deductions up front can really pay off in the questions. And questions like these
are an example of where you can save quite a
lot of time on test day.
