LG Game 1 Question 4 Explanation, by LSATHacks
Just like question 3, this question allows step by step deductions. This question places Trapezoid second, so you must think precisely about the rules involving T.
Rule 2 says that R and S must both be either before or after T. On this question, T is second, so there’s only one space before T. Therefore, R and S must go after T.
We also know that V is after S (rule 2). So there are a total of three people after T: R, and S – V.
W is the only CD left to place, and first is the only spot open:
You can use this diagram to eliminate answers.
A and B are wrong because W must go first.
C is wrong because V can go fourth at latest, since V is after S.
D is wrong because W must go first.
E is CORRECT. This diagram proves it:
C. “V can go 4th at latest” – should say “at earliest”
Great point!! that was throwing me the heck off too! I was saying are these last questions that mind-boggling or am I missing something? Thanks for the co-sign, and thanks lhack for these explanations.
Major sigh of relief :)
So helpful. Thank you.
