Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=8562)
The correct answer choice is (E)
If T is in bouquet 1, so is P (fifth rule). Bouquet 3, therefore, can have neither T nor P in compliance with the first rule:
Since bouquet 3 must contain at least two kinds of flowers, the only remaining option is R:
Last, since bouquet 2 and 3 must have exactly two kinds of flowers in common (second rule), bouquet 2 must have at least R and S (but it can also have other flowers too, as long as it does not have L):
Answer choice (A) is incorrect, because P and T represent an incomplete list of flowers in bouquet 2—we are missing both R and S.
Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because P and S represent an incomplete list of flowers in bouquet 2—we are missing R.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because P, S and T represent an incomplete list of flowers in bouquet 2—we are missing R.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect, because P, R and T represent an incomplete list of flowers in bouquet 2—we are missing S.
Answer choice (E) is the correct answer choice, because it is the only answer choice that contains both R and S.
