PrepTest 78, Game 1, Question 3



Summary
The analysis of a GRE prep question demonstrates a strategic approach to solving a logic game by identifying conditions that allow a specific outcome, in this case, making V the project leader.
  • The question is treated as a global question due to its nature of asking what could be true under a specific condition, making V the project leader.
  • A local diagram is used to visually represent the conditions and inferences drawn from the rules provided in the game.
  • Key inferences include eliminating Q and R from leadership based on the first rule, deducing that T must always be in based on the second rule, and determining the possible in and out status of S and X.
  • The correct answer is identified by process of elimination, where each incorrect option is shown to violate the established rules and conditions for V to be project leader.
  • The explanation clarifies common misconceptions and illustrates the logical steps to arrive at the solution, emphasizing the importance of understanding the directionality of conditions.
