LG Game 1 Question 5 Explanation, by LSATHacks

There is only one thing you know about N, O, and P: two of them have to be in the morning.

When a question introduces a local rule, you can assume it has an impact on the main diagram.

Here, P is shown in the afternoon. That means that only N and O are left to go in the morning. They both must go in the morning.

E is CORRECT.

Here’s a diagram of the local rule. Note that NO are interchangeable:

P, K-L must be in the afternoon. M and J must be in the evening, since M goes after K – L.

Apart from that, the order doesn’t matter.

A is wrong because M can always be shown 7th.

B is wrong because P could be shown 3rd, before K.

C is wrong because O could be shown first instead. O and N are reversible for this question.

D is wrong because M has to be shown in the evening. P, and K – L fill the afternoon.
