Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=5718)
The correct answer choice is (A)
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. However, do not just take the rules in the order given. Instead, choose the rules to apply in order of the ease of seeing them inside each answer choice. In this game, the rules should be applied in this order: second, third (the second and third rules are identical in form, so they can be applied in either order), first, and fourth.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because it violates the first rule.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice is incorrect because it violates the fourth rule.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice is incorrect because it violates the second rule.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice is incorrect because it violates the third rule.
As is so often the case in full solution List questions, each of the incorrect answers is eliminated by a different rule.
