37. (A)
Danger to persons is more compelling
than preservation of evidence, but the officer
should size up the situation so as to do as little
damage as possible.
38. (D)
Preservation of evidence is important,
but it pales in the face of danger to any person,
victim or perpetrator.
39. (C)
The same point is repeated. Save lives.
40. (A)
1-3-4-5-2
First the body was found. Then Land Rover
tracks were followed from the site where the
body was found into a border village. In the
logical sequence of events, once the Land
Rover was located, finding fingerprints would
be the next step whether or not the fingerprints
were crucial to the story. Then the owner of the
Land Rover was questioned and proclaimed
his innocence.
41. (B)
2-1-3-4-5
A rag-tag group of people, possibly illegal
immigrants who had just entered the country,
walked along a dry riverbed. There was a
sudden cloudburst in the mountains, creating a
flash flood. The roar of water rushing down the
riverbed was deafening. A man from the group
was able to snatch two small children to safety,
but an old woman was drowned.
42. (B)
Make the simplest, most straightforward
statement possible. "After I talked, I wrote."
Choices (A) and (D) complicate the tenses.
(C) is not incorrect but is hopelessly long and
wordy.
43. (C)
To show that one past activity (the slow-
ing) occurred before another past activity (the
stopping) requires the had been construction
(past perfect). Had been slowed implies that an
external force was working on the rain. Had
been slowing more accurately describes the
end of a storm.
44. (D)
This is a simple, past-tense statement;
keep it that way. Both choices (A) and (B) shift
into the present tense along the way. (C) makes
a very juvenile statement: "Shot it all dead."
45. (C)
Their is the possessive form of they;
there indicates a location; they're is the con-
traction for they are.
46. (B)
Four is the number 4; for implies a
purpose; fore refers to the front.
47. (A)
There is no call for a possessive form
here; the simple plural Scouts will do just fine.
If the plural of Scouts were to be used in the
possessive, it would read Scouts'.
48. (A)
Watch your tenses. The first two sen-
tences of the passage are written in the past
tense, so maintain consistency. In addition, in
(B), could of is incorrect; could have is the
grammatical form.
49. (D)
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Choice
(A) changes the meaning. (B) and (C) are
wordy and convoluted.
50. (B)
This already happened. Both (A) and (C)
place the action in the future. The suspect was
arrested in the first sentence, so the underlined
portion is repetitious.
