[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=230&p=88688)

The correct answer choice is (C)

If bay 4 holds P, then, according to the chain sequence, L must be in bay 5 and G must be in bay 6:

Of course, T must be in bay 3. F and M then remain to rotate between bays 1 and 2:

Accordingly, answer choice (C) is correct.

In a LG sequencing question, when a question asks you to determine for how many of the variables can the sequence be determined, do you include the item provided in the question? Here is an example of what I mean:

On the Dec 2003 LG Section, Game 2, Question 12: If bay 4 is holding produce, then for exactly how many of the six bays is the type of cargo that bay is holding completely determined? In my answer do I include information given to me by the question. In other words if I can determine which cargo occupies spaces 3, 5, and 6, would the answer be C (4) because I also know what is in space 4? Hope the question makes sense.

Hi Nina,

In your example, the answer should be 4 because you know exactly what variable goes in all four slots. If the question asked "How many other bays can the variable be determined," then the answer would be three because the use the word other indicates not to count the original statement.

Hope this helps,
