Analyzing Arguments - Verbal and Reasoning

Directions to SolveChoose the statement that is best supported by the information given in the question passage.
Q1:

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures. No search of a person's home or personal effects may be conducted without a written search warrant issued on probable cause. This means that a neutral judge must approve the factual basis justifying a search before it can be conducted.
This paragraph best supports the statement that the police cannot search a person's home or private papers unless they have

A legal authorization

B direct evidence of a crime.

C read the person his or her constitutional rights.

D a reasonable belief that a crime has occurred.

E requested that a judge be present.

ANS:A - legal authorization

Explanation: The second and third sentence combine to give support to choice a. The statement stresses that there must be a judge's approval (i.e., legal authorization) before a search can be conducted. Choices b and d are wrong because it is not enough for the police to have direct evidence or a reasonable belief—a judge must authorize the search for it to be legal. Choices c and e are not mentioned in the passage.
