Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows. Forensic Scientists It is the job of law enforcement officials to arrest criminals. Then they must convince judges and juries "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the right person was arrested. According to this principle, the judge and jurors must be fairly confident, based on the evidence, that the accused person is guilty. The work of forensic scientists begins with collecting the evidence at a crime scene. Along with police investigators, forensic scientists examine the crime scene. Investigators must be careful not to upset anything at a crime scene. They must make sure nothing new is added. Every possible piece of evidence is photographed or videotaped before it can be taken away. At a crime scene, investigators search for all the clues involved with the crime. They dust for fingerprints. They scrape up small bits of evidence using scalpels. Small, angled mirrors, like the ones dentists have, are used the see beneath heavy furniture. Tweezers are used to pick up fibers. Of course, investigators must be consistent when labeling where each piece of evidence was found before it is stored in a bag. The evidence is then sent to forensic labs. At these labs, scientists administer tests to determine whether the evidence is connected to the crime. Forensic scientists look for answers to questions about how a crime occurred. Finding answers is the job—and ultimate reward—of a forensic scientist. Which of these questions is answered in the reading? a. How is forensic evidence presented to judges and juries? b. How do people train to be forensic scientists? c.
