Acting on a tip earlier this month, police in Shenyang, China, dispatched four vans and
almost two dozen officers to a street on which a jeep had been left unattended for several
days. Why? Because a passerby has spotted a man’s hand poking up from among other
items in a cardboard box in the back seat and assumed it had been severed from a murder
victim. Ownership of the vehicle was traced to a member of the Shenyang Opera. As for the
hand, it turned out to be artificial – a prop in one of the company’s productions.
According to the paragraph,……………………
a-a member of the opera was murdered

From Berlin comes word of the arrest last week of – well. We'll call him Karl. His crime: being involved in a minor traffic accident in which he was driving without a license. Normally, this wouldn't raise eyebrows. After all, police in the German capital deal with far more serious offenses every day. Still, Karl's case is noteworthy because for years he has been earning his living as a driving instructor. He flunked his first road test in 1961 and never went back because " I was too afraid to try again. " He has since schooled more than 1,000 people in the fine points of operating a motor vehicle. No word on whether they'll have to be retaught. According to the paragraph, Karl……………. . a-was innocent driving without a license b-flunked out of police training c-was not qualified to teach driving d-taught over 1,000 policemen how to drive
