Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=5457)
The correct answer choice is (A)
The question stem establishes that S lectures second and Z lectures fourth. Since T lectures before S (second rule), we can conclude that T lectures first. Likewise, V lectures before Z (third rule), forcing V into the third position:
Among the remaining three variables, P lectures before W (first rule), whereas Y does not lecture seventh (fifth rule). Therefore, W must lecture seventh: The only uncertainty in the game, then, is the order in which P and Y deliver their lectures. Thus, in a Could Be True question such as this one, you should immediately seek answer choices that contain either P or Y. Only answer choices (A) and (E) qualify, and answer choice (A) is the only one that could be true.
