Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=6424)
The correct answer choice is (C)
The first applicant to check is F, which according to the third rule must be interviewed. However, F appears in every answer choice, so this process does not eliminate any answer choices. Regardless, always make sure to check the basic requirements of the game, however simple.
Because the question stem specifies that you are seeking an answer choice that is a complete list of interviewed applicants, the remaining applicants in each answer choice are the only other applicants that are interviewed. Thus, you should check the rules for references to interviewing. The first two rules both feature stipulations regarding interviewing in both the sufficient and necessary conditions, and so they are the most logical rules to start with.
From the first rule, when G is interviewed, J must be interviewed, and so any answer choice that contains G but not J will be incorrect. This information eliminates answer choices (A) and (D).
From the second rule, when J is interviewed, L must be interviewed, and so any answer choice that contains J but not L will be incorrect. This information eliminates answer choices (B) and (E).
Consequently, answer choice (C) is proven correct by process of elimination.
