Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=6972)
The correct answer choice is (C)
This question tests the only major inference in this game, namely, that neither W nor Y could have originated in Norway. The remaining three artifacts could each have originated there, proving that answer choice (C) is correct.
Careful how you interpret the question stem! It is not asking about the maximum number of artifacts that could have originated in Norway (that number would be 2, as discussed above). Rather, the question seeks to determine how many artifacts are there, any one of which could have originated in Norway. The difference is minor, but crucial. Each of V, X, and Z could have originated in Norway (just not all at the same time).
