EXPLANATORY ANSWERS
Questions 1 to 15: If you made any errors, read back through the passage to confirm the correct
answers.
16. (B)
The long, thin scar on the cheek would
be highly visible. The eye patch also makes for
good identification because very few people
wear them. Points of identification must be
distinctive or unusual, visible, and not easily
subject to change.
17. (B)
You must read for details and then use
these details to reason. This type of question
highlights the value of reading the questions
before you read the paragraph. Question 17
deals with rape, question 18 with auto theft. In
your initial reading of the paragraph, you will
underscore details concerning rape and auto
theft, ignoring information relating to bur-
glary and assault. With your information thus
narrowed, note that the rape area is Chapel
Street. Eliminate choices (A) and (C). The
rapes occur in the six-hour span from l0

the definitions, assault is the only charge.
Harassment requires that no injury be intended,
but Ramos stated intent to harm Wu. Menac-
ing requires that no injury be caused. These
definitions are mutually exclusive. Only one
can apply. Definitions of other crimes may
allow for one definition to be included within
another. Careful reading is the number one
requirement.
20. (D)
Refer to Rule 6 of the procedure and
select choice (D).
21. (D)
Refer to Rule 1 of the procedure and
select choice (D). The reason for not standing
in front of the door is that, if the inhabitants of
the apartment had a gun, the officer would be
vulnerable if the weapon were fired at the
door.
22. (A)
The actions of the officers should be
evaluated as improper. They should have in-
terviewed the husband and the wife to get both
sides of the story.
23. (C)
Officer Blue's statement was inappro-
priate. Refer to Rules 4 and 7 and then select
(C) as the correct answer. A police officer does
