Summary
The analysis of a specific LSAT logic game question demonstrates the process of elimination and rule application to determine which answer choices could be true.
  • Answer choice A is eliminated because it contradicts the rule that M must come before S, and S cannot be first.
  • Answer choice B is not possible because placing L second triggers a conditional rule that cannot be satisfied with the given order.
  • Answer choice C is dismissed for similar reasons as A, where placing V second contradicts the rule regarding S's placement.
  • Answer choice D is explored in both possible scenarios ('OR options'), but neither allows L to be third without breaking the established rules.
  • Through elimination, answer choice E is determined to be correct, with a review confirming M can indeed be fifth in one of the scenarios.
