Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=3737)
The correct answer choice is (B)
To attack this question, use proper List question technique: take one rule and apply it to all
answer choices, then take another rule, and apply it to the remaining answer choices, and so on,
until only one answer choice remains. However, do not just take the rules in the order given.
Instead, choose the rules to apply in order of the ease of seeing them visually inside each answer
choice. Additionally, since the third rule contains two clauses that are independent of each other,
it should be broken down into two rules, each of which should be applied separately. In this
game, the rules should be applied in this order: third (first part), third (second part), second, first.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice violates the first rule and is therefore incorrect.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice violates the second rule and is therefore incorrect.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice violates the second part of the third rule and is therefore
incorrect.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice violates the first part of the third rule and is therefore
incorrect.
As usual, each of the four incorrect answer choices violates a different rule.
