Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15933)
The correct answer choice is (A)
When the L is placed on Tuesday, then from the first rule we know that P is also placed on Tuesday. With Tuesday occupied, both the third and fourth rules are affected: K cannot be placed on Monday (because G cannot be placed on Tuesday), and S cannot be placed on Wednesday (because H cannot be placed on Tuesday). Consequently, K must be placed on Wednesday and S must be placed on Monday. G and H form a dual-option that rotates between Monday and Wednesday:
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice violates the third rule. K cannot be placed on Monday because there is no space for G to be placed on Tuesday.
Answer choice (C): The question stem stipulates that P must be placed on Tuesday, and from the first rule L must also be placed on Tuesday. Therefore, this answer choice cannot occur and it is incorrect.
Answer choice (D): Since L and P occupy the two spaces on Tuesday, no other dog can be placed on Tuesday, and thus this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice violates the fourth rule. S cannot be placed on Wednesday because there is no space for H to be placed on Tuesday.
