Read the excerpt from Monster.PETROCELLIWell, if you don’t know exactly where you were, can you tell me anyone who might know where you were?STEVEI don’t even remember where I was. When the detectives asked me where I was, I couldn’t even remember the day they were talking about. They didn’t ask me about it until weeks later.
Answer
A
Steve may be dishonest because he is accusing the detectives of working slowly.
B
Steve may be honest because people could easily forget where they were weeks earlier.
C
Steve may be deceitful because he seems to be avoiding Petrocelli's questioning.
D
Steve may be trustworthy because he is repeating the same thing that he told the detectives earlier.
Explanation
Steve says the detectives asked him about his whereabouts weeks after the day in question. It is plausible that someone would forget where they were on a particular day after several weeks, which supports the possibility that he is being honest. His comment about the delay does not, by itself, show that the detectives were working slowly or that Steve is avoiding the question.
