Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14958)
The correct answer choice is (A)
In Pure Sequencing games the test makers always check to see whether you will make unwarranted assumptions between the variables. As you go down the list of answer choices, use your diagram to establish the truth of each relationship.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. Since F is released earlier than J (first rule), and J is released earlier than H (second rule), it follows that F is released earlier than H.
Answer choice (B) is not necessarily true, because the relationship between G and J cannot be inferred from the rules provided. G could be the third, and J could be the fifth film released.
Answer choice (C) is an attractive, but incorrect answer. Do not let physical proximity on the diagram influence your evaluation: it is entirely possible that G is released earlier than K, if G is third and K is fourth.
Answer choice (D) is not necessarily true, because the relationship between L and H cannot be inferred from the rules provided. H could be the fourth, and L could be the fifth film released.
Answer choice (E) is not necessarily true, because J could be released earlier than L.
