LG Game 1 Question 5 Explanation, by LSATHacks

This question gives us a new rule, which we can add to our existing rule:

F can only go in 1 or 6. So this bloc has to go in 4, 5, 6

J, H and G go in any order. Except G can’t be in 3. Why? Then Q would have to be in 5.

So H or J goes in 3. If you make a deduction like that on a local rule question, it will be the correct answer 90% of the time.

It’s true here. D is CORRECT. Only H or J can go in 3.

Answers A through C are all things that could be true, but don’t have to be.

E can’t be true: Q must go in 4.
