Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=6649)
The correct answer choice is (C)
This is a tricky question stem because it switches from a voicemail target to a website target. This switch is quite easy to miss under the pressure of the test.
If S’s voicemail target is shorter than T’s website target, then from the final diagram of the game S’s voicemail target must be 2 days, and T’s website target must be 3 days. From the first rule, then, T’s voicemail target must also be 3 days:
From the second rule, however, I’s voicemail target must be shorter than S’s and T’s voicemail targets, and thus I’s voicemail target must be 1 day. Applying the first rule, I’s website target must also be 1 day:
Accordingly, S’s website target could be 2 days, and answer choice (C) is correct.
