LG Game 4 Question 24 Explanation, by LSATHacks
Many people freak out when the LSAT asks them to redraw a diagram. I’ve never understood why. Just remove the old rule, then draw in the new one.
If you’re afraid to redraw your diagram, then you don’t understand it well enough. Changing a diagram should be like changing the words in a sentence you wrote.
You need to understand these logical symbols the way you understand a language.
I’ll show you how to change this, in two steps. First, erase the line that connected G and O.
Second, add a new line that shows O is after K, and before G.
Done!
Well, almost. Now we have to see if there are any new deductions.
Who can we put with P? Now only H and one of N/S are free to go anywhere. So they have to go with P.
So, from our diagram above, we can see H has to go in the last class, with P. E is CORRECT.
When I said you need to understand these symbols as well as you understand written language, I meant it.
Practice turning statements into diagrams and combining them. Do it until it’s second nature. Then logic games will be much easier.
