Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11303)

The correct answer choice is (B)

The four incorrect answers can be eliminated by applying the dual-options and triple-options in the game:

Answer choice (A): According to the setup diagram, Nikki’s fall sport is either M or R. Answer choice (A) attempts to assert that Nikki need not participate in either M or R in the fall, and therefore (A) can be eliminated.

Answer choice (C): According to the setup diagram, Nikki’s summer sport is either K or M. Answer choice (C) attempts to assert that Nikki need not participate in either K or M in the summer, and therefore (C) can be eliminated.

Answer choice (D): According to the setup diagram, Otto’s fall sport is either M or R. Answer choice (D) attempts to assert that Otto need not participate in either M or R in the fall, and therefore (D) can be eliminated.

Answer choice (E) can be eliminated because Otto has only three options for spring—K, M, or R—and answer choice (E) removes all three options.

Answer choice (B), which eliminates only two of Nikki’s three spring options, is therefore correct.
