Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10911)

The correct answer choice is (A)

If W is planted on lot 3, then L must be planted on lot 1 in compliance with the third rule. Furthermore, since M and W cannot be planted on the same lot as each other (second rule), M cannot be planted on lot 3. Template A cannot therefore provide a solution to this question, leaving us with the solutions in Templates B and C. In each of them, W is planted on lot 3 along with H and O, whereas M is planted on lot 2:

Answer choice (A) is the correct answer choice, because there is nothing preventing S from being planted on lot 1. Note that S is a random variable in this game, and as such is an attractive answer to a Could Be True question.

Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because H must be planted on lot 3.

Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because L must be planted on lot 1.

Answer choices (D) and (E) are incorrect, because W, H, and O are the only trees that can be planted in lot 3.
