#12 - Global, Must Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11593)

The correct answer choice is (E)

The first set of inferences proved that Doctor Yamata must treat patients on both Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. It follows that answer choice (E) is correct. In a sense, both question #8 and #12 are part of a pair: if you get one correct, you will likely get the other correct. That shows the powerful nature of the inferences, and the necessity of identifying those inferences.

It is also interesting to note that in this game four of the five questions are Global. When a game has a majority of Global questions, that often indicates that the game contains deep and challenging inferences. That is certainly the case here.
