Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=5457)
The correct answer choice is (E)
The question stem establishes that Z lectures fourth. Since either Z or W must lecture seventh, here we can conclude that W lectures seventh: We know that V lectures before Z (third rule), and also that T and S occupy two of the first three positions on the diagram. With the first three positions fully occupied, our local setup would look like this:
The setup has multiple points of uncertainty, but is nevertheless sufficient to eliminate four of the answer choices from consideration: Answer choices (A) and (B) are incorrect, because P lectures either fifth or sixth. Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because W lectures seventh. Because Y lectures either fifth or sixth, answer choice (D) cannot be true, whereas answer choice (E) could be true and is therefore correct.
