Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10917)
The correct answer choice is (A)
Because this question requires that we place a variable in a specific position (Z on Thursday), it would be best to create a Linear setup, rather than a Sequencing chain:
If Z is on Thursday, we need to ensure than both F and K are scheduled earlier than Thursday (third and fourth rules). Furthermore, since only L, G, and Z can be on duty on Saturday, it follows that L and G must share that duty:
Note that the last rule has no effect on this solution, because scheduling L on Saturday is a necessary condition for F to be scheduled earlier than L. The necessary condition is clearly satisfied here, warranting no further review.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice, because F is on duty on either Monday or Tuesday, whereas L is on duty on Saturday.
Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because the relationship between F and H is still unknown. It is possible that F is on duty on Monday.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because the relationship between H and M is unknown.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect, because H could be on duty on Friday.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect, because the relationship between K and M is unknown.
