Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15601)
The correct answer choice is (D)
If N is visited on Thursday we have two possibilities: either O is out or L is out (these are given as Templates 1 and 2b). Let’s quickly explore both:
If N is visited on Thursday and O is not visited (Template 1), then L must be visited on Wednesday. To ensure that N and S are not visited on consecutive days, S cannot be visited on Friday. And neither can H, in accordance with the first rule. Therefore, P must be visited on Friday:
On the other hand, if N is visited on Thursday and L is not visited (Template 2b), we need to accommodate the OH block while also ensuring that N and S are not visited on consecutive days. To do so, we need to place the OH block on Tuesday and Wednesday, and S on Monday. Once again, P is the only neighborhood left to be visited on Friday:
To answer this Must Be True question, we need to determine a consistency between our two solutions. And indeed, in both of them P is visited on Friday—an inference that quickly validates answer choice (D).
