In The Sherlock Society, where did Al Capone stay while he first arrived in Miami Beach?

• A. The Ponce de Leon Hotel
• B. The Biltmore Hotel
• C. The Fontainebleau
• D. The Breakers

Answer: (A)

The question tests your recall of a specific detail from The Sherlock Society’s story about Capone’s arrival. In the narrative, his first lodging upon arriving in Miami Beach is described as the Ponce de Leon Hotel, making it the natural fit for the clue. That hotel is portrayed as a grand, recognizable symbol of the era, which is why it’s the best match for a high-profile figure making a dramatic entrance.

The other hotels are real options that fit different contexts or locations in the story (or in the real world) but don’t align with the first-arrival scene described. The Biltmore and the Fontainebleau are associated with other parts of the plot, and The Breakers is in Palm Beach, not Miami Beach, so they don’t fit the described moment.
