Hi Marissa, thanks for the question
If H is used only once, that means that H is used only in Policy. Meaning that F and G must be placed in Quality and Sales.
Since G conflicts with L and L has yet to be placed. It cannot be G in both Quality and Sales. Additionally, since F conflicts with M in this scenario, it too cannot be placed in both Quality and Sales. This means we are left with G in either Quality or Sales and F in either Quality or Sales.
We can create two hypotheticals to show this.
H __ __
G __ G
F F K
OR
H __ __
G __ F
F G K
In the first scenario, we fill Sales with M to not conflict with F. Additionally, L in Quality to not conflict with G.
In the second scenario we fill Sales with L to not conflict with G. Additionally, M in Quality to not conflict with F.
H __ M
G L G
F F K
AND
H __ L
G M F
F G K
Lastly, the only available variable to fill both Qualities is K. Which is why it is used twice in both hypotheticals. I hope this helps!
