Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=6962)
The correct answer choice is (D)
If F is not selected, then G must be selected, because F and G are the only two desserts (and we need at least one dessert). If G is selected, we also need to select O in compliance with the fourth rule:
With only one space remaining in the “unassigned” group, at least one of P or W must be selected. If so, then both P and W must be selected in accordance with the third rule:
Finally, recall that at least one hot food must always be selected. F, N, and T are the only hot foods, and so far we have none of them in our selection. So, we must include either N or T:
Judging from the language used in our answer choices, here it would be worth notating (using a subscript or a separate stack) the type of food each variable is:
Answer choice (A) is incorrect, because at least two main courses must be selected (P, O).
Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because W is a side dish that must be selected.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because only one hot food can selected (N or T).
Answer choice (D) is the correct answer choice, because all three main courses can be selected (N, O, P).
Answer choice (E) is incorrect, because at most two side dishes can be selected (V, a side dish, cannot be selected).
