LG Game 3 Question 17 Explanation, by LSATHacks

You can use the setup to eliminate answers on this question. The setup deduction was that H’s watercolor must be above I’s oil on wall 4:

And rule 3 places G’s watercolor above F’s oil. So, we already know the placements of these four paintings:

These deductions let us eliminate four answers: 

  1. G’s watercolor must be upper.
  2. F’s oil must be lower.
  3. F’s oil must be lower.
  4. G’s watercolor must be upper, and so must H’s oil.

E is CORRECT. H and G’s watercolors must be upper, and there are no restrictions on their oils. This scenario shows a way they can both be upper:
