Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10807)
The correct answer choice is (D)
If aisle 1 contains H only, then H and S cannot be located in the same aisle as each other. It follows that S must be located in aisle 2, and P—in aisle 3. In addition, F and M must be located in aisles 2 and 3, respectively, in order to accord with the second rule. The only uncertainty in the game, then, is the placement of R. Since R must be located on the same aisle as either F or M, it must therefore be placed in either aisle 2 or aisle 3:
In a Could Be True question such as this one, you should immediately seek answer choices that exploit this uncertainty and contain R. Only answer choice (D) qualifies. Since R could be located in aisle 3, answer choice (D) could be true and is therefore correct.
