Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=49)
The correct answer choice is (C)
The condition in the question stem suspends the second rule. With the second rule suspended, only three rules remain in effect: the first, third, and fourth rules. As none of the answer choices contain K, the first rule is inapplicable. Two of the answer choices—(C) and (E)—contain O, but both of those answer choices also contain P and W, so there is no violation of the third rule. Two answers—(C) and (E)—contain W, but while (E) also contains F, (C) contains neither F nor T, and thus answer choice (C) violates the fourth rule and is therefore the correct answer.
