#21 - Global, Cannot Be True

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=4937)

The correct answer choice is (A)

Monday is only a problem for workers controlled by sequencing rules such as the fourth rule. Hence, P and S are a prime target for analysis in this question.

If S works on Monday, then from the fourth rule P would have to work on Monday. However, answer choice (A) states that J would work with S on Monday. As this is impossible, answer choice (A) cannot occur and is correct.

I understand that rule #4 makes it so answer choice A cannot be true. But doesn't rule #1 make it so answer choice E also cannot be true?

[Adam Tyson]

That rule tells us that "at least one" of the workers is a supervisor, LauraWorkman. Having two supervisors working together doesn't violate that rule! Don't confuse "at least" with "exactly."

Thanks for the explanation and quick reply!
