Question 27

The thief hid at the house of a friend.

The thief concealed himself at the residence of a friend after committing the robbery, allowing him some time to evade capture.

A) The bank president offered a reward for the thief.

This option is incorrect as it does not provide information about where the thief hid. While offering a reward may indicate the urgency of the search for the thief, it does not answer the question regarding the thief's hiding place.

B) The thief's wife became very nervous.

This option is also incorrect since it pertains to the emotional state of the thief's wife rather than the location where the thief hid. The nervousness of the wife does not provide any details about the thief's actions following the robbery.

C) The police searched for the thief for many weeks.

While this statement addresses the extensive efforts of law enforcement to locate the thief, it fails to specify the hiding place of the thief. The duration of the search does not contribute to the answer regarding where he found refuge.

D) The thief hid at the house of a friend.

This option accurately reflects the correct answer, indicating that the thief sought shelter at a friend's house after the robbery. This action suggests a level of familiarity and trust that may have provided him with the means to evade the police.

Conclusion

The correct answer is definitively D, as it directly answers the question about the thief’s hiding location. Options A, B, and C, while relevant to the context of the robbery, do not address the specific inquiry about where the thief went to hide. Thus, D stands out as the only option that fully satisfies the question.
