Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11942)
The correct answer choice is (B)
In this Global question, simply use the main diagram to confirm or eliminate answer choices. If an answer choice Could Be True, then it is incorrect. The correct answer choice Cannot Be True.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because H could be delivered later than K. Remember, K could be delivered first, so even though it appears that K is at the “end” of the diagram, K can “move” forward greatly.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. J must be delivered earlier than M, and M must be delivered earlier than G, so J can never be delivered later than G.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice is incorrect because L can be delivered last, so L can be delivered later than O.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice is incorrect. The only relationship that L and M have is that they must both be delivered later than H. However, the rules do not specify if L or M is delivered later, so M could be delivered later than L.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice is incorrect because H can be delivered first, so N can be delivered later than H.
Note that the nature of the answer choices in this question makes this a simple diagram interpretation question. If you can create a main diagram that incorporates all of the rules and also understand the relationships inherent in that diagram, then this question is easy.
