#12 - Local, Could Be True

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15645)

The correct answer choice is (E)

When L is harvested, then according to the second and third rules J, K, and M must all be harvested after L, with no restriction on the placement of J in the last three spaces:

Accordingly, answer choice (E) is correct.

I’m confused by this question. I had trouble eliminating the answers. I thought a lot of them could be true. I chose B. But I also thought C could work.

Cuz I thought the following could occur:

(P , G , H-J) L (K , T, M)

So b and c work

Or (P , G , H/T) L (K , M, H/J)

The problem above is that from the second rule L is ahead of J, but your diagram has that reversed. So J is after L, and T will have to be before L.

Or (P , G , H/T) L (K , M, H/J)

This diagram has only three variables ahead of L, but since L is fifth there must be four, so it won't work either

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!

I do not understand this question at all. I came to the conclusion that the sequence P/G H J L* K/T M meets the conditions of each rule, yet both B and C are obviously wrong answers? Can someone help me understand this?

dimi.wassef,

J must be after L, so that solution does not work.
