Summary
The analysis of a local question on the LSAT exam demonstrates the logical process of deducing the correct answer by applying given conditions and rules to a specific scenario, in this case, arranging flowers into bouquets.
  • Introducing a condition that L is in bouquet 1 necessitates adding R to bouquet 1 as well, due to the interconnected rules.
  • Given constraints limit the possible arrangements of other elements (S, P, T) in the remaining bouquets.
  • A critical rule that disallows the use of T without P helps to eliminate impossible configurations, leading to the conclusion that P must be in bouquet 3.
  • Through logical deduction, it is determined that answer choice B, stating P must be in bouquet 3, is the only condition that must be true.
  • The process exemplifies the importance of closely following the rules and conditions to navigate to the correct answer efficiently.
