#24 - Global, Cannot Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15139)

The correct answer choice is (E)

One of the key inferences of the game established that T must be ranked first in friendliness, and thus answer choice (E) cannot be true and is correct.

Hi, I got this question right, but only after guess-and-checking every other possibility first. It took way too long. Do you have any suggestions on how to tackle this question more quickly?

Check the setup for this game, Tajadas (the link is in the short explanation at the top of this thread), and you should see that there is no need to guess and check for this question. Instead, just quickly compare each answer to that diagram. You'll see that the four wrong answers are all allowed within that setup, but the right answer conflicts with it and is not an option. Use the main diagram and you should be through this one quickly, confidently, and accurately! For example, answers B and C are clearly shown as options in the setup, and can therefore be true. Cross those out without hesitation! You shouldn't even need a local diagram, because this is a global question. Check your main diagram against ours and see if it is as full as it could be, and then give this question another try.
