In The Sherlock Society, according to Grandpa, what are the 5 W's of investigating?

• A. who, what, when, where, why
• B. who, what, where, why, how
• C. who, what, when, where, who
• D. who, why, when, where, what

Answer: (A)

Grampa’s investigation approach uses the five W’s: who, what, when, where, and why. These prompts cover all the essential aspects of a case—who was involved, what happened, when it occurred, where it took place, and why it happened (the motive). This combination gives a complete picture and helps avoid overlooking important details. The option that adds how or rearranges the words doesn’t match Grampa’s standard five W’s, so the set that fits best is the one with who, what, when, where, and why.
