Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15971)
The correct answer choice is (A)
Each answer choice specifies that exactly three of a certain type of painting is under analysis. Because of the second, third, and fifth rules, these three paintings must be contiguous, and so the correct answer must contain two paintings either adjacent (such as 3-6 or 4-5), or at most two spaces away (such as 2-4 or 1-3). Accordingly, answers (B), (C), and (D) can be eliminated immediately. Answer choice (E) can be eliminated because painting 5 would have to be from the nineteenth-century, yet the rules specify that painting 5 is from the twentieth-century. Thus, answer choice (A) is correct.
