In The Sherlock Society, who does Alex guess are the two men who escaped on the jet skis?

• A. The Thompsons
• B. The Johnsons
• C. The Smiths
• D. The Browns

Answer: (A)

The question is about recalling a specific plot moment and understanding how a character’s deduction is built from the clues. Alex zeroes in on The Thompsons because the jet-ski escape requires two people with both access to jet skis and a reason to flee together, and the scene in the story ties the Thompsons to that possibility. The evidence points to them fitting the scenario: proximity to the harbor around the time of the escape and a connection to the mystery that gives them motive. The other options don’t align as neatly with the available clues—their stated whereabouts or alibis don’t match the getaway, so they don’t fit the described escape as well.
