LSAT PrepTest 49 Game 4

The fourth LSAT logic game on LSAT PrepTest 49 is essentially an ordering game. Although you may have seen other games similar to this that call for "ranking" elements, and may have been happy to see this game because those games often prove fairly easy to solve, this game does not neatly fit into that mold. Usually with "ranking" games, we find that all the elements may be interconnected and deductions about their relative ranks are obvious. However, the LSAT has shaken this one up a bit, particularly with the fourth and fifth clues. Let's start with the diagram -- a straightforward ordering graph.
