Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15134)
The correct answer choice is (E)
To answer this EXCEPT question, we need to identify four answer choices that must be false, i.e. that cannot be true in any solution of the game. By contrast, the correct answer choice must represent a statement that could be true. A test-taker who approaches this question without the use of templates would be forced to plug-and-chug her way through each and every answer choice, wasting valuable time. The templates obviate the need to do so.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice cannot be true, because K cannot be first in either template.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice cannot be true, because G cannot be second in either template.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice cannot be true, because G cannot perform before S in either template.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice cannot be true, because G cannot perform before P in either template.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice, because K could perform before S in Template 1.
