#12 - Local, Cannot Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15933)

The correct answer choice is (A)

One approach to attacking this question is to use the hypotheticals from the previous three questions. Each contains scenarios that match the condition in this question stem, and collectively that information can be used to eliminate every incorrect answer choice. If you do not choose that approach, this question can still be done easily by making hypotheticals.

The condition in the question stem, in combination with the first rule, creates a powerful GLP block:

This block can only be placed on Monday-Tuesday or Tuesday-Wednesday:

Of course, due to the second rule, H cannot be placed on the same day as G, so H must be placed on Wednesday in the first hypothetical and on Monday in the second hypothetical.

In addition, because of the fourth rule, in the first hypothetical S must be placed on Monday (otherwise, if it were placed on Wednesday, then H could not be placed on Monday), and therefore K is placed on Monday in the first hypothetical. In the second hypothetical K and S form a dual option:

Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice.

Answer choices (B), (C), (D), and (E): As shown in the two hypotheticals, G, K, L, P, and S could be placed on Tuesday. Thus, each of these answer choices is incorrect.
