LSAT 90, Logic Game 4, Question 19, LSATHacks

LG Game 4 Question 19 Explanation, by LSATHacks

We solved this question in the setup. J needs to come before H (rule 5). So that means H can’t go first. And, rule 1 says that anyone going first must also go fifth (rule 1). Since H can’t go first, H therefore can’t go fifth. Thus, D is CORRECT.

Look what happens if you place H fifth. Apply rule 1, and you have to make H first:

Which leaves no space for rule 1 (J goes before H), so it’s impossible to put H fifth.
