LSAT 78 Explanations

LG Game 3 Question 17 Explanation, by LSATHacks

Another general could be true question. Just like with question 16, the scenarios from the setup let you easily eliminate answers. Here are the scenarios, for reference: 

Scenario 1 ( H before L)

LSAT Preptest 78, Game 3, Question 17, Diagram 28

Scenario 2 (L before H, H – T – V)

Scenario 3 (L before H, V – T – H)

LSAT Preptest 78, Game 3, Question 17, Diagram 30

A is wrong because S needs M and V after it. So it can go fourth at latest. 

B is CORRECT. In scenario 2 you can place S fourth, with only M and V after it.

C is wrong because L can only go 5th in scenario 1. And in that scenario, V would have to be last, not M.

D is wrong because scenario 1 is the only scenario with L after T. And in that scenario L also needs H, S and M before it. So if L went after T, it would have four variables before it and go 5th at earliest. 

E is wrong because V can only go third in scenario 3, where L and S are before it.
