#7 - Local, Could Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=4541)

The correct answer choice is (A)

Because corsage 1 only has two types of flowers (gardenias and violets in this question), and no orchids can be used in corsage 3, an orchid must be used in corsage 2:

This fact eliminates answer choices (C), (D), and (E), each of which do not contain an orchid.

Of course, if three different types of flowers are used in corsage 3, and orchids cannot be used, the three types of flowers must be G, R, and V:

Thus far, in total there are two roses and one orchid. Because of the specification that there are at least twice as many roses as orchids, the third flower in corsage 2 cannot be a orchid, because there are not enough remaining open spaces to add two more roses. This information eliminates answer choice (B), which indicates that there are two orchids in corsage 2. Thus, answer choice (A) is correct.
