In The Sherlock Society, how long did Lina and Yadi wait on the steps for Alex and Zoe?

• A. One hour
• B. Two hours
• C. Three hours
• D. Four hours

Answer: (B)

The question is about following the timeline of a scene and understanding how long a moment lasts. In this part of the story, Lina and Yadi wait on the steps for Alex and Zoe for a two-hour period. That exact interval is what the author uses to pace the moment and build anticipation: it gives them time to linger, discuss things off to the side, and earn the sense of waiting before the others arrive. If you look at the sequence of events and any time cues the text provides, two hours fits the described progression precisely. Shorter or longer durations would disrupt the established timing of when Alex and Zoe show up, so this two-hour wait is the one that aligns with the scene as written.
