#11 - Local, Must Be True

[Administrator]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13080)

The correct answer choice is (E)

This question stem establishes that V is shown third, which is only possible in Templates 2.1 and 2.2. In both of them T must be shown fifth—validating answer choice (E).

Without the use of templates, we need to split the solution into two directions. One way to do this would be to take T and place it in either the first or the fifth positions:

• If T is first, then R must be second. However, this would force Q and S to be adjacent to each other, in violation of the last rule:

Clearly, since T cannot be first, it must be fifth, in accordance with the second rule of the game.
