June 2007 - Sec 1 - Game 4 - Q18

Question number eighteen: Which one of the following could be an accurate account of all the

kinds of material recycled at each recycling center in Rivertown? Alright so

let's go to the rules one at a time and eliminate answer choices that violate our

rules. Our first rule was that if we recycle wood we also have to recycle

newsprint. So notice in answer choice (A) in center 3 we see wood in center 3 but

we do not see newsprint. Therefore (A) violates rule number one and (A) would

be eliminated. None of the other answer choices violate condition number one so

lets turn our attention to condition two. If you are recycled by center 2 you must

be recycled by center 1. Well notice in answer choice (C) we have glass, newsprint

and tin in center 2 but we are missing tin in center 1. We see glass, newsprint

and wood as opposed to glass, newsprint and tin. So (C) violates our second condition (C)

would be eliminated. (D) is fine and (E) is also fine. (B) also no problem with

condition number 2. Turning our attention to our third rule we only have one plastic.

Well automatically we can eliminate answer choice (E). We see two plastics in recycle center 1 and

in recycle center 2. And then don't forget where we see plastic we cannot

see glass you notice in answer choice (D) center 1 has glass and plastic. So (D)

does not follow meaning that (B) here would be our correct answer. Again here just drawing

this out so we have this hypothetical readily available just in case we can

use it on previous work.
