LG Game 1 Question 7 Explanation, by LSATHacks

This question asks us to substitute for the rule that sales must be in the west theatre. When thinking about how to replace a rule, consider which rules interact with the original rule, and consider rules similar to the original rule. In this case, we know that normally, S is in the west, and U is in the east. Because of rules 1 and 2, like this:

So the solution here is simple. U is still in the east (rule 2). If we also say “S can’t be with U”, then that has the effect that S is in the west. C is CORRECT.

The ordering rule answers are wrong, as there’s no relationship between ordering and theatre relationship in this game. And D is wrong because G can be in either theatre.
