According to the library text, the detective agency is needed to find what?

• A. A missing person
• B. A stolen book
• C. A misplaced wallet
• D. A runaway bicycle

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is what kind of case calls for a detective agency according to the library text. The text presents the detective agency as the specialized help you bring in when someone has vanished and their location isn’t known. That situation requires tracing clues, following leads, and interviewing people over a broad area—works best by investigators who focus on locating a person rather than recovering an item. The other options describe situations involving objects or minor issues that don’t require locating a person—recovering a stolen book, or simply finding a wallet or bicycle. The scenario that fits what the text describes is finding a missing person.
