Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10929)

The correct answer choice is (D)

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.

Answer choice (A): This answer choice violates the third rule and is therefore incorrect.

Answer choice (B): This answer choice violates the second rule and is therefore incorrect.

Answer choice (C): This answer choice violates the second rule and is therefore incorrect.

Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice.

Answer choice (E): This answer choice violates the first rule and is therefore incorrect.

I am confused as to why answer choice D is the correct answer. In answer choice D, slots 2 and 3 both contain a single industry feature. Is this violation of the third rule, "An issue can have at most one industry feature?"

I had the same question. I am obviously not understanding the rules of this game. It is obviously not saying there can't be more than one industry feature. Help!

An important rule in this game is that features "completely occup[y] one or more of the slots." This means that an industry feature can take up both slots one and two, but still only count as a single feature (you could think of this as the extra-long articles in magazines that span multiple pages).

In answer choice (D), slots 2 and 3 are filled with "a single industry feature." This comports with the rule limiting industry features to one per magazine -- this single feature takes up two slots but still only counts as one feature.

Hope this helps!
