This game is also discussed in our Podcast, at the 14:37 mark: LSAT Podcast Episode 37: The November 2019 LSAT Logic Games Section
Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: https://forum.powerscore.com/lsat/viewtopic.php?t=31706)
The correct answer choice is (A)
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. This answer is possible only when month 3 is empty (X), but otherwise it would meet all the conditions of the game.
Answer choice (B): This answer is incorrect because it violates the first rule of the game because U is month 6 whereas month 6 must be empty.
Answer choice (C): This answer is incorrect because it violates the third rule of the game because Q and T are in months 1 and 3 instead of being consecutive.
Answer choice (D): This answer is incorrect because it violates the last rule of the game. Since all five agents are assigned months, we can infer that months 6 and 2 are empty. But, when month 2 is empty, then S must be trained in month 4, which does not occur in this answer.
Answer choice (E): This answer is incorrect because it violates the second rule of the game, and R is trained in an earlier month than U.
Note how, as often occurs in List questions, each of the wrong answer choices violates a different rule of the game.
