Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15077)
The correct answer choice is (B)
From question #14, we know the following diagram is produced when S is from the artist’s second period:
The wording of the question stem also provides a clue into the placement of Q: by referencing the period “immediately preceding Q’s period,” it is clear that Q will not be first in this scenario (there is no period that precedes the first period). Consequently, because the second period is already occupied, Q must be from the third period in this question, and since the museum’s third period painting is already occupied by Z, Q must be the third period painting of the private collector (and R and T rotate in the first period):
Answer choices (A), (C), and (E): None of these answer choices contain a painting that can be from a period immediately preceding Q’s period. Thus, each of these answer choices is incorrect.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. From the diagram, we can determine that S can be the painting from the same buyer in the period immediately preceding Q.
Answer choice (D): Although V can be a painting from the period immediately preceding Q’s period, V is sold to a different buyer than Q, and thus this answer choice is incorrect.
