#8 - Local, Must Be True

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=175&p=88237#p88237)

The correct answer choice is (A).

This is the first Local question of the game. In this case, L is presented last. As L figures in two rules, we can determine from the first rule that P and M are presented earlier than L, with P M. However, as this follows directly from the rule, this is a relatively simple conclusion to draw and is therefore less likely to figure in the correct answer.

L also appears in the second rule, and given the complexity of the second rule, this rule is much more likely to generate the correct answer. When L is sixth, the first option of the second rule comes into play:

With L presented last, the only remaining relationship that must be satisfied is G J. Accordingly, answer choice (A) is correct.
