Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=17097)
The correct answer choice is (D)
Answer choice (A): From the last rule we know that when T is added to class 1 then Z must also be added to class 1. This answer violates that rule, and thus cannot be true.
Answer choice (B): The second rule stipulates that S must be added to class 3. Because S is in class 2 in this answer, this answer is incorrect.
Answer choice (C): The fourth rule indicates that V and Z cannot be added to the same class. This answer is therefore incorrect because V and Z both appear in class 2.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (E): The third rule states that W and Y cannot be added to the same class. This answer is therefore incorrect because W and Y both appear in class 2.
The information from the hypothetical discovered in this question (namely that V can be added to class 2) can then be used to eliminate answer choices (A), (B), and (C) in question #2. The same hypothetical can be used to eliminate answer choices (C) and (E) in question #3.
