Q6

Any chance someone could put up a good diagram here? I feel like mine was quite messy. Thank you.

The diagram actually lives on its own thread for each game, entitled Diagram:
https://www.manhattanprep.com/lsat/foru ... t5197.html

Here's a version:

.........N
.............\
F --- J ---- T
....\
......H

The last rule is an either / or:
.....H...........H
.../.......or.......\
P......................P
...\................./
......N.........N


We could create two Trees, but they get almost unusably messy here (there's no way to avoid having a character who gets "stuck" in between some lines), so it's easier to just keep this P rule off to the side and deal with it on each problem.


Since Q6 is an Orientation question, 90% of the time we wouldn't even use a diagram.

We'd just go rule by rule and knock out offending answers.

Rule 1: this kicks out (D), since F is after J.

Rule 2: this kicks out (B), since N is after T. And this kicks out (E), since both N and J are after T.

Rule 3: This kicks out (C), since P is between H and N.

That leaves (A) as our correct answer.
