Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13080)
The correct answer choice is (C)
Justify questions, which appear infrequently in the Logic Games section, require you to select an answer choice that, when added to the rest of the rules, forces the game to have only one possible solution. Our templates would be tremendously helpful in this regard. Here’s why:
Answer choice (A) is incorrect, because if Q is shown third, then S and T can alternate between positions 1 and 5 (Template 1).
Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because if R is first, then S and Q can alternate between positions 2 and 4 (Template 2.1).
Answer choice (C) is the correct answer choice. If S is shown second, then only Template 2.1. would provide an appropriate solution. Q would be forced into position 4, ensuring that the order in which the houses are shown is completely determined:
Answer choice (D) is incorrect, because T is fifth in Templates 2.1 as well as 2.2.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect. Although only Template 1 allows for V to be shown fourth, note that the exact positions of S and T are not determined in that template.
