Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=267&p=90470#p90470)
The correct answer choice is (A)
The condition in the question stem establishes that P must be hired in 1990 or 1992.
Answer choice (A) could be true and is correct because if P was hired in 1990, then P and M are not subject to the specialty restriction rules, and sharing a specialty would not cause any other violations.
Answer choice (B) is incorrect because R and S were hired in consecutive years, and thus cannot have a specialty in common.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect because this answer would require P to be hired in 1991, which is impossible according to the condition in the question stem.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect because the initial setup establishes that no professor was hired in 1994.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect because the initial setup establishes that two professors cannot be hired in 1993.
