Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=391&p=94117)
The correct answer choice is (C)
If I is scheduled for Wednesday, the VK block must be scheduled for either Monday-Tuesday or Thursday-Friday. Let’s examine each possibility.
If VK is scheduled for Monday-Tuesday, then H and N are unrestricted, and they rotate between Thursday and Friday, creating the following diagram:
If VK is scheduled for Thursday-Friday, then H must be scheduled for Monday (I and V are scheduled elsewhere), but from the second rule, when H is scheduled on Monday then N is scheduled for Friday, which is impossible here as K is already scheduled for Friday. Thus, V and K cannot be scheduled for Thursday-Friday.
As the only two possibilities in this question are the ones where the VK block is scheduled for Monday-Tuesday, K must always be scheduled for an earlier day than H, and answer choice (C) is correct.
Answer choice (A) could be true but does not have to be true, and answer choices (B), (D), and (E) each cannot be true.
