Question 4
XH-B1MCQ1 markNeeds review

In the individual accounts, the incompetent detective is frequently distracted by the culprit's careful plans, while the competent investigator solves the case after a final confrontation. Analysts of such fiction believe that the authors select this story-technique to provide readers with more complexities in the form of misleading clues, while figuring out the crime.
