Summary
The explanation focuses on solving a local question on the LSAT by incorporating a new condition into the sketch, specifically placing S in the fourth position and deducing the arrangement of other elements based on established rules.
  • A new sketch is created with S in the fourth position, leading to V being placed in the fifth position due to the first rule.
  • The second rule necessitates T to be in front of R, influenced by the positions of S and V.
  • The third rule allows W to be either in front of or behind the T and R block, resulting in two possible arrangements: WTR or TRW.
  • Analysis of the answer choices leads to the conclusion that answer choice C, stating T is earlier than R, is the correct answer based on the rules applied.
  • Other answer choices are evaluated and dismissed based on the logical deductions made from the initial condition and subsequent rule application.
