Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14979)
The correct answer choice is (B)
If neither of the last two books discussed is summarized, we can conclude that neither K nor R is summarized:
Our diagram helps eliminate answer choices (A) and (C).
Next, recall that if R is not summarized, then N must be summarized (contrapositive of the second rule). In this instance, R is not summarized, and so N must be summarized—eliminating answer choice (E). Answer choice (D) is also incorrect, because if N were summarized along with both F and T, we would invariably end up with three consecutive books that are all summarized, in violation of the first rule. By the process of elimination, we can determine that answer choice (B) is correct.
