Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11942)
The correct answer choice is (C)
If K is the seventh parcel delivered, then O must be the eighth parcel delivered (because the second rule specifies that
K
O). That leaves the remaining variables to be delivered in the first six spaces:
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because G could be the fifth parcel delivered. The following hypothetical shows how: N-J-H-M-G-L-K-O.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because M could be the fifth parcel delivered. The following hypothetical shows how: N-J-H-L-M-G-K-O.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. Because L, M, and G must all be delivered later than H, the latest that H can be delivered is third (after J and N).
Answer choice (D): This answer choice is incorrect because L could be the fourth parcel delivered. The following hypothetical shows how: N-J-H-L-M-G-K-O.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice is incorrect because J could be the third parcel delivered. The following hypothetical shows how: N-H-J-M-G-L-K-O.
