Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11817)
The correct answer choice is (E)
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, there is a consideration. Because only the birds are listed, you should focus on the rules about birds, and then the Not Laws produced by the interaction of the sequences and locations. Thus, this List question is a bit different than the normal List question because you can’t simply take each rule and apply it to the answers. For example, the first rule mentions G, but G doesn’t appear in the answers. But, we know from other rules that S can’t be first because S can’t be given at G, which does play a role in eliminating an answer.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because from the fourth rule O cannot be first.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because from the fifth rule P cannot be first.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice is incorrect because from the second and fifth rules, P cannot be fourth (P is given at G, but the fourth lecture is at H).
Answer choice (D): This answer choice is incorrect because from the first and fourth rules, S cannot be first (S is given at H, but the first lecture is at G).
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice.
