Hi,
I am still wondering about your HTML script.
If you are using LimeSurvey to run a survey you have to use the built-in question types to store the data in a database.
So read the manual to find the appropriate question type and the forum to see a lot of workarounds to adapt the look & feel.

In your case I propose an array(numbers) because in my opinion the question is a multiple question. (People may select more than one activity).

Then you can create a table in the question text to show the options and beneath the (one) subquestion of the array(number) with checkbox layout.
The gap between question text and checkbox row is removed by the css.
Like this
 

And the HTML code of the table is here:
Code:
<p> </p>
 
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;" width="100%">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: left;font-size:12pt" width="30%">Day of week </td>
            <td class="theader">{if(Q1a==1,"Tuesday",if(Q1a==2,"Wednesday",if(Q1a==3,"Thursday",if(Q1a==4,"Friday",if(Q1a==5,"Saturday",if(Q1a==6,"Sunday","Monday"))))))}</td>
            <td class="theader">{if(Q1a==7,"Tuesday",if(Q1a==1,"Wednesday",if(Q1a==2,"Thursday",if(Q1a==3,"Friday",if(Q1a==4,"Saturday",if(Q1a==5,"Sunday","Monday"))))))}</td>
            <td class="theader">{if(Q1a==6,"Tuesday",if(Q1a==7,"Wednesday",if(Q1a==1,"Thursday",if(Q1a==2,"Friday",if(Q1a==3,"Saturday",if(Q1a==4,"Sunday","Monday"))))))}</td>

            <td class="theader">{if(Q1a==4,"Tuesday",if(Q1a==5,"Wednesday",if(Q1a==6,"Thursday",if(Q1a==7,"Friday",if(Q1a==1,"Saturday",if(Q1a==2,"Sunday","Monday"))))))}</td>

</style>
 
What about this "mandatory acticities" row?
Doesn't the "work / no work" option depend on the day?
Now you have fixed rows, but the day of week changes according to the selected "current day".

Later I will send the example.
And because you are not able to import lss exports one recommandation.

Create a free account of LimeSurvey here.
Then you may import surveys, play around, learn and export only questions (lsq) or groups (lsg) to import into the survey in your real environment.
 
Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless
