Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=4009)
The correct answer choice is (C)
If L is placed on a higher shelf than H, then either Template #2 or #3 is in effect. And, because O must be placed on a higher shelf than L, we can deduce that O is on the top shelf, L is on the middle shelf, and H is on the bottom shelf. The remaining two books—G and K—have several options, although at least one of the two must be on the top shelf with O:
Because H and M must always be placed on the same shelf, answer choice (C) is correct.
Note how each of the incorrect answers includes G or K, which is where the uncertainty in this question appears. In a Must Be True question (such as this one), avoid uncertainty in the correct answer. In a Could Be True question, look for the uncertainty in the correct answer.
