#17 - Local, Could Be True

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=166&t=8547)

The correct answer choice is (C).

This is the only question that uses the night/day shift information. If G and T are the two night shifts, then from the last rule G must be fifth and T must be sixth. F or R must still be first, and either F or H must be fourth:

None of the five answer choices appear to be proven by this setup, so consider what occurs when S and H are the two night shifts. From the fourth rule, S must rank fifth and H must rank sixth. T must rank fourth because all other crews rank ahead of T. F or R must still be first, and either G or R must be fourth:

Accordingly, R can rank third, and answer choice (C) is correct.
