#16 - Local, Must Be True

[Administrator]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14119)

The correct answer choice is (B)

If L is serviced on Saturday, then Template #1 is in effect. This is the more challenging of the two templates because it contains more elements that must be tracked. However, within the Template #1 diagram, the P S relationship is explicitly noted. This relationship is reflected in the wording of answer choice (B), which must be true and is thus correct.

I had some trouble with #16 on game 3.

Hi Brittney,

For this question, you can focus on Rule 4 - The sedan is serviced earlier in the week than the pickup or earlier in the week than the limousine, but not both. Here, Question 16 tells us that L is last, which means hat S is earlier than L and S CAN'T be earlier than P. Therefore, answer B is correct. Does that make sense?
