Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15627)
The correct answer choice is (D)
The question stem asks you to add a statement to the rules that will result in a single solution. The easiest way to achieve this goal is to take the two separate chains in the Double-Branched Vertical (the I-H chain and the L
N chain) and place one ahead of the other (these two chains contain the only uncertain variables in the game). Thus, an answer stating that H L or that
N I would quickly achieve the desired result.
Answer choice (D) contains the N I statement mentioned above. If it were true that N’s salary was greater than I’s salary, then the following single chain sequence would result:
Therefore, if it were true that N’s salary was greater than I’s salary, then the salary rankings of each of the nine partners would be completely determined. K’s salary would be the highest, L’s salary would be the second highest, N’s salary would be the third highest, and so forth. It follows that answer choice (D) is correct.
