Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=1451)
The correct answer choice is (B)
If G auditions on both Wednesday and Saturday, then in order to meet the second rule (and comply with the first rule), R must audition on Saturday also (with the R2 audition):
At this point, several different scenarios could occur. For example, R1 could audition on Thursday (thus satisfying the third rule; O would audition Wednesday and Friday). Or, O could audition on Thursday and Saturday, in order to satisfy the third rule; R1 would audition on Friday).
As stated in the paragraph above, O could audition on Wednesday and Friday, and thus answer choice (B) could be true and is correct.
The following details the problems with the remaining four answer choices:
Answer choice (A): This scenario would cause a violation of the third rule.
Answer choice (C): This scenario would leave Friday without an actor audition (or, if R1 auditioned on Friday, cause a violation of the third rule).
Answer choice (D): This scenario is impossible because R cannot audition on Wednesday.
Answer choice (E): This scenario would cause an immediate violation of the second rule (which initially had caused R2 to audition on Saturday).
