Inmate L and Inmate M were involved in a fight. Both inmates were interviewed to determine what occurred. Their statements are provided below. Inmate L's statement: I watch out for Inmate M because he always tries to start trouble with me. I was in the library stacking books on a shelf and Inmate M got in my way. It looked like Inmate M wanted to fight me, so I told him to back down. Inmate M continued to walk towards me, so I dropped the books I was holding and then he punched me. He kept punching me until an officer arrived and told everyone in the library to get on the ground. Everyone listened to the officer and got on the ground. Then Inmate M and I were restrained and escorted to separate holding areas. Inmate M is the one who started the fight. I was only trying to protect myself. Inmate M's statement: Whenever I work in the library with Inmate L, he gets defensive. I didn't want to get into a fight because I knew it would decrease my chances of being released early. Today, when I walked by Inmate L, he threw the books he was holding on the floor and started punching me. I had to protect myself so I punched him as many times as I could before an officer arrived and told us to stop fighting. The officer told everyone to get down on the ground, so I stopped punching Inmate L and got down along with everyone else in the library. I should not have been restrained and escorted to a holding area like Inmate L. I was just protecting myself. Based ONLY on the information provided above, what difference, if any, between the two statements may be important enough to examine further? A. if the inmates complied with the officer's orders B. the reason Inmate L was restrained C. which inmate initiated the fight D. There was no difference that requires further examination. Correct Answer: C. Each inmate blames the other inmate for starting the fight. Option C is correct because it may be necessary to examine further which inmate started the fight since the inmates' statements contradict each other. Based on the statements provided by both inmates, A and B are incorrect because there is no reason to question whether the inmates complied with the officers orders or why the inmates were restrained. D is incorrect because it is unclear which inmate started the fight. While Officer B was escorting inmates through a dormitory area, he saw Inmate J pass a note to Inmate H. Because inmates are not allowed to pass notes to each other, the officer confiscated the note and interviewed both inmates. Their statements are provided below. Inmate H's statement: Inmate J dropped a note on the floor of my living area. Officer B confiscated it before I could read it. According to Inmate J, the note ordered me to attack Inmate X tomorrow. Inmate J claimed she had nothing to do with the note other than delivering it. According to Inmate J, Inmate K should be held responsible because she wrote the note and forced Inmate J to pass it by threatening her life. Inmate J's statement: I had to deliver it because my life was being threatened by Inmate K. I did not read the note, but Inmate K said if I didn't give the note to Inmate H by the end of the day I would end up in the medical center. I should be left out of this because I only passed the note to protect myself from Inmate K. I know I will be punished for this, but I have nothing to do with the note other than delivering it. Based ONLY on the information provided above, what difference, if any, between the two statements may be important enough to examine further? A. why Inmate J delivered the note B. who was supposed to receive the note C. if Inmate J knew the content of the note D. There was no difference that requires further examination. Correct Answer: C. According to Inmate J's statement, she did not read the note. However, according to Inmate H's statement, Inmate J knew the content of the note. Based on the contradicting information in the two statements, further examination may be necessary to determine if Inmate J knew the note ordered Inmate H to attack another inmate. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Based on the statements provided by both inmates, A and B are incorrect because it is clear why Inmate J delivered the note and that Inmate H was supposed to receive the note. D is incorrect because it is unclear whether Inmate H knew the content of the note. A commercial aircraft company recently began using new software that tracks a plane's location during flight.

A. attempt to identify the artist who designed the logo B. use the logo for one of the firm's clients C. avoid trouble by throwing the logo away D. sell it to a competing firm for personal profit Correct Answer: D, because it involves using company property for personal financial gain.
