Explanation:
There is agreement that the suspect was a White or Hispanic male in his mid-to-late twenties with long, brown hair who was approximately 6' tall and 185 pounds. In addition, his pants and jacket were dark in color. There were only two discrepancies across the descriptions. Witness 1 reported that the suspect had a small scar on his forehead. Witness 3 reported a tattoo of a panther on the suspect’s right forearm. Of the two, it is much harder to explain how a tattoo of a panther could be overlooked by three of four witnesses AND how one witness could see it when the other three witnesses all stated that the suspect had a jacket on during the incident.

2. Begin from the furthest point on the floor and move towards the entrance (Step 4) to systematically cover the entire area without missing any sections.
3. Check under furniture and in closets for any evidence or hidden individuals (Step 1) to thoroughly search each area for relevant items or persons.
4. Mark the entrance of the floor with tape once it's cleared (Step 2) to indicate that the area has been searched, preventing unnecessary rechecks and ensuring efficient search coordination.

Explanation:
Witness 2's description of the driver as an elderly Caucasian man with white hair, possibly in his 60s, contradicts the descriptions provided by the other witnesses, who described the driver as being in his late 40s to early 50s with gray or brown hair. Additionally, Witness 2's description of the driver having a beard conflicts with the other witnesses' descriptions of a clean-shaven individual. Therefore, Witness 2's description raises inconsistencies that need further investigation.
Explanation:
The suspect detained in Burglary 4 matches the descriptions of the perpetrators from Burglaries 1 and 3 in terms of ethnicity, age, height, weight, and clothing. While there are some discrepancies in the descriptions, such as hair color, these can be attributed to variations in observation and reporting. Therefore, the suspect should be considered a potential suspect in Burglaries 1 and 3, but not necessarily in Burglary 2.
Explanation:

Every step contains a few words that give the sentence its meaning and main idea.
When you try to answer this kind of question, try to locate keywords that provide contextual information about the main idea of each numbered sentence. This will help you determine how the various steps are related to one another.
Explanation:
To identify the correct order, the sentences for the report need to be placed into the proper time sequence. Sentences 1, 2, 3, and 5 describe the events of the accident. The proper sequence for these four events is 2, 5, 1, 3. (Mrs. Smith is attempting a left turn, when a Dodge ran the red light, struck her vehicle, and continued on its way, and as it passed she noticed its license plate number.) Answer B is the only alternative with this sequence.
Explanation:
To identify the correct order, the sentences to be included in the report need to be ordered into the proper time sequence. The clearest clues involve sentences 4 and 2.
Sentence 4 begins "Upon arrival..." Therefore, sentence 4 must separate the actions that occurred prior to arriving at the scene from those events occurring after arriving at the scene. Sentence 2 is the only statement regarding actions prior to arriving (i.e., getting the call). Thus, sentence 2 must occur first and be followed by sentence 4. Only answer B begins with the sequence 2, 4. In addition, the rest of the sequence (5, 1, 3) is also appropriate.
