Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=4080)
The correct answer choice is (E)
If Y has six animals, then it must contain four snakes and two lizards (six total). That means that Z contains one snake and one lizard (two total). Answer choice (E) is correct because the number of snakes in Z (one) is equal to the number of lizards in Z (one).
Answer choices (A) and (B) are incorrect because W and X are unaffected by the animals in Y, and so although both of these answer can be true, neither of these answer must be true.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect because under the scenario in the question stem Z would contain one snake, not two snakes.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect because Y must contain four snakes and two lizards, not an equal amount of snakes and lizards.
