Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15703)
The correct answer choice is (A)
If guidepost 5 does not picture M, then M can only appear on guidepost 3 or 4 (M cannot appear on guidepost 1 or 2 because both F and L must be ahead of M; M cannot appear on guidepost 6 because H must appear behind M). Since there are two options for M in this question, create two hypotheticals, one for each option:
In the two templates, the placement of M in 3 or 4 automatically places G in 4 or 3. Then, the super-sequence relationship forces F and L into 1 and 2. The only remaining decision is the exact placement of H and P.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer.
Answer choice (B): M could be pictured on guidepost 3 or 4.
Answer choice (C): G could be pictured on guidepost 3 or 4.
Answer choice (D): P could be pictured on guidepost 5 or 6.
Answer choice (E): H could be pictured on guidepost 5 or 6.
