Summary
The analysis of Question 21 on the LSAT exam provides a detailed walkthrough of solving a local question with a new condition, focusing on the logical distribution of tasks among three centers based on given rules and conditions.
  • A new condition requires all three centers to fill in three blanks, introducing a scenario for logical deduction based on previous rules.
  • Centers 1 and 2 share tasks, and if one does plastic, it cannot do glass, leading to Center 3 doing plastic and Centers 1 and 2 doing glass.
  • With two spaces left and three options (N, T, W), all centers must do newsprint (N) because eliminating one would not fulfill the requirement for two spaces.
  • The final arrangement is deduced by process of elimination and matching the remaining tasks (wood or tin) to the centers based on established rules.
  • Answer choices are evaluated against the sketch, leading to the conclusion that only Center 3 doing tin could be true, eliminating other options based on the logic and rules applied.
