Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=12828)
The correct answer choice is (A)
This question asks us to determine what could be true about the photographs by F appearing in the newspaper. Proceed by the process of elimination: any answer choice that describes an impossible situation would be incorrect.
Answer choice (A) is the correct answer choice, as it is possible to have F appear in all three sections of the newspaper, according to Template 2. All we need to do is ensure that one of the photographs in Metro is by G, in compliance with the first rule:
Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because none of the templates would allow such an assignment. If both photographs in Sports are by F, that number needs to match the number of photographs in Lifestyle by H. So, there would be two photographs in Lifestyle by H (Template 3), leaving no room for another F in that section.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because only Template 1 would allow both photographs in Lifestyle to be by F. However, in that template, both photographs in Sports are by H, in compliance with the third and fourth rules, leaving no room for another F in that section.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect, because only Template 3 would allow both photographs in Sports to be by F. However, that template is completely defined, requiring the Metro section to contain photographs by G and H.
Answer choice (E) is also incorrect, as none of the templates would allow us to have two photographs in Metro, and one photograph in Sports, all of them by F.
