Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Two Spies

Quiz Preview

• Question #1

    The kidnapper wrote 'on fifth of this month' instead of 'Sunday' and used awkward phrases like 'at which' and 'horn', which suggested poor education.
  • D

    The note was printed from a common laser printer, which most college graduates would avoid using to prevent detection.
