Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- Experience order goes: Administration (least experienced), Production, Marketing, HR, Finance, R&D, Client Relations (CR) (most experienced).

- Only two have less experience than K. So K is third from the bottom.

- P works in R&D. R&D is second most experienced.

- The “Wanted” movie is liked by someone more experienced than K but less than the Jumanji liker. P doesn’t like Wanted or Jumanji.

- The Wanted liker does not work in Finance.

- J, who’s more experienced than K, likes Twilight.

- Production is less experienced than the one who likes Hero. K doesn’t like Hero.

- HR has more experience than both L and N. N isn’t the least experienced.

- The person who likes Signs has more experience than N.

- M is more experienced than J.

- L does not like Dread.

Now, let's sequence it:

- Administration (1st) < Production (2nd) < Marketing (3rd) = K < HR (4th) < Finance (5th) < R&D (6th) = P < Client Relations (7th)

- P is in R&D, so second most experience, only one above: CR.

- K is third from the bottom, so K = Marketing.

- J is more experienced than K, so not in Admin/Production/Marketing, could be HR/Finance/R&D/CR.

- M is more experienced than J, so M comes after J.

Let’s look for the people just above J (so more experience than J) and just below K (less experience than K):

- More experienced than J: That would be M and anyone above.

- Less experienced than K: That would be Admin and Production spots, i.e., L and N (since N isn’t the least, N is in Production, so L is least.)

The pair the question wants: One with more experience than J (M), and one with less experience than K (N).

Here’s your answer:

- M: More experience than J

- N: Less experience than K

Option 1: M, N is correct.

What this really means is you nailed the two people sitting just above and below your experience pivots. The logic checks out with the information, and your pick is spot on!
