Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=3672)
The correct answer choice is (C)
The correct answer to this Local, Must Be True question should ideally be prephrased. If the last digit is not 0, only Possibilities 1C and 2C can provide a suitable point of reference. To answer this Must Be True question, we need to ask ourselves, “What do these two Possibilities have in common?” Clearly, the fourth digit is 0 in both of them, validating answer choice (C).
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is not necessarily true, because the second digit can also be 4 (Possibility 2C).
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is not necessarily true, because the third digit can also be 1 (Possibility 2C).
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice, as the fourth digit is 0 in both Possibilities.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice is not necessarily true, because the fifth digit can also be 4 (Possibility 1C).
Answer choice (E): This answer choice cannot be true, because the fifth digit cannot be 1 unless the third digit is 0 (Possibility 2B).
