After you read the paragraph, you will be asked a question concerning the information that was provided.
In answering the question, use only the information that was given to you. Do not base your answers on
any previous knowledge that you may have about the subject matter but consider only the information listed

to determine if you have the ability to discern the information and recognize a reasonable answer. Read the

Answer to #1
2. When conducting a fugitive investigation an investigator can use many different sources of
information. The more information that an investigator has the easier it will be to locate the
fugitive. Most of the information that an investigator needs may be obtained by interviewing the
fugitives associates. The information obtained from the fugitives friends and relatives may lead
to where he is hiding. Other sources of information such as a drivers license or social security
number may help an investigator to determine what alias the fugitive is using. The mail delivered by
the Postal Service and telephone records may disclose the fugitives location. Every source of
information that the investigator has access to should be obtained.
Which of the following statements is best supported by this paragraph?
A. Computer checks on a drivers license, telephone records or social security number should be used
if the investigator cannot locate the fugitive by other means.
B. An investigator who conducts a thorough interview of the fugitives friends and family members will
be able to identify the fugitives whereabouts.
C. Because a court order is needed to view any mail delivered by the Postal Service, an investigator
should use this resource as a last resort.
D. The best source of information for obtaining any aliases that the fugitive may be using is a drivers
license inquiry or a review of the fugitives social security number.
E. The key to any fugitive investigation is for the investigator to utilize all the informational
