#7 - Local, Cannot Be True, Suspension

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=269&t=1940)

The correct answer choice is (B)

The condition in the question stem specifies that L stocks aisles 1 and 9:

Of course, the fourth rule regarding J not stocking consecutive aisles is still in force, and given the remaining unplaced variables above, is likely to play a role in this question.

If O stocks aisle 6, then J would have to stock aisles 7 and 8, causing a violation of the fourth rule. Thus, answer choice (B) cannot be true and is correct.

Q7: I chose C. But the right answer is B.

I did not pick B because I made this sequence:

J, K, M, K, M, O, J, L, L
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Could you tell me what the problem is?

Thank you very much!

Hi Sherry,

The problem with your hypothetical above is that it violates the condition in the question stem which states that "Larisa stocks both end aisles."

Thanks!
