Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=18147)

The correct answer choice is (C)

The question stems forms a Q :longline: R sequence, which can only occur under Template #2. In Template #2 W arrives fourth, and so answer choice (C) is correct.


This game serves as another example of the power of rule linkage and interaction. The second and third rules link together in a limiting way, and the fourth and fifth rules also link together in a limiting way. When the two sets of rules are combined, their interaction produces a limited number of possibilities, and thus we draw out the two templates. If you have been carefully studying our materials, you should now understand the importance of the Identify the Templates and Identify the Possibilities approach. If you know these techniques and you understand when to apply them, you give yourself a tremendous advantage over other test takers.
