Take the Science, and Science Lab classes and "glue" them together to get the super class "Science-Science-Lab"
This ensures that Science Lab immediately follows the Science class
So, we now have only 4 classes: English, Math, History and Science-Science-Lab
We can arrange n objects in n! ways.
So, we can arrange these 4 classes in 4! ways (i.e. 24 ways)
Answer: B

Brent
