9. (D)
In alternative A, "my supervisor and
me" is the object of the verb. In alternative C,
"my supervisor and me" is the object of the
preposition. In alternative B, the word myself
should be replaced with the word me. In alter-
native E, "my supervisor and I" is the subject
of the sentence.
10. (B)
The chief advantage of a properly ad-
ministered parole system from the prisoners'
standpoint is the opportunity it provides them
for information and assistance concerning their
reentry into society. A parole system cannot
guarantee that released prisoners will never
return to prison in the future (alternative A),
that they will not be tempted to commit crime
(alternative C), or that they will have the
opportunity to save whatever they earn (alter-
native E) because these possibilities are largely
in the hands of the prisoners themselves. Al-
though alternative D may be a result of the
parole system, it is not the chief advantage
from the standpoint of the prisoners.
11. (A)
The chief purpose of arresting a person
suspected of committing a felony is to ensure
that the suspect does not escape while further
investigation takes place. Although there may
be some truth in all the other alternatives, none
of them can be considered to be the primary
reason for this rule.
12. (E)
The chief advantage of familiarity with
all types of ammunition for the worker in
crime detection lies in the fact that such knowl-
edge can be a valuable aid in discovering and
following up clues during the process of inves-
tigation. Alternatives A and C are untrue, and
although alternatives B and D may be true in
some cases, neither one is the most important
reason why acquaintance with ammunition is
valuable to the worker in crime detection.
13. (C)
The most logical order of the five events is
that first the man was shot (3); second, his body
was discovered by the maid, and the police were
called (1); third, the police questioned the maid
and learned of the couple's argument of the
previous night (5); fourth, the police found
Mary at her sister's home (2); and fifth, a gun
was found in Mary's pocketbook and was iden-
tified as the murder weapon (4). The answer is
not A because the maid could not have discov-
ered the body (1) before the man was shot (3).
The answer is not B because the police could not
have questioned the maid (5) before she called
them (1). The answer is not D because the first
four events could not have taken place before
the man was shot (3). The answer is not E
because the police could not have looked for
Mary (2) before learning from the maid that she
was the victim's wife (5).
14. (B)
The most logical order of the five events
is that first Mr. Hayes was under surveillance
(5); second, a detective saw him leave a print-
ing shop with a large package (2); third, the
shop owner said he had bought high-quality
paper (4); fourth, a printing press and freshly
printed bills were found in Mr. Hayes' base-
ment along with the paper (1); and fifth, he was
arrested for counterfeiting (3). The answer is
not A or D because the detective would not
have seen Mr. Hayes leave the printing shop
(2) if he had not been under surveillance (5).
The answer is not C or E because Mr. Hayes
could not have been arrested for counterfeiting
(3) before any evidence was discovered (1).
15. (D)
The most logical order of the five events
is that first the inspector saw that Ms. Smith
looked familiar (3); second, he decided to
search her luggage (2); third, he found nothing
in her luggage but identified her from her
passport photograph as a suspected smuggler
(5); fourth, he realized that she was wearing a
wig and had her searched (1); and fifth, narcot-
ics were found in her wig (4). The answer is not
A because the inspector would not have de-
cided to search Ms. Smith's luggage (2) unless
his suspicions were aroused by the fact that she
looked familiar (3). The answer is not B, C, or
E because the inspector would not have real-
ized Ms. Smith was wearing a wig (1) before
seeing her passport photograph (5).
