Answer questions 18 through 21 solely on the basis of the following passage.
At 11:55 A.M. Police Officer Benson was on foot patrol on 44th Street between 6th Avenue and Broadway. This post is known to be a high crime area with a large number of narcotics, robbery, and prostitution arrests. Police Officer Benson approached a young woman he had previously arrested for prostitution. As he was about to question her, he heard a scream coming from the direction of a women’s boutique on the opposite side of the street. A young black male was running up 44th Street towards Broadway, followed by a woman yelling “Stop that man!” Police Officer Benson ran after the woman but by the time he caught up with her, she had fallen after tripping on the badly cracked sidewalk. The woman was visibly shaken, and appeared to have broken her arm. Police Officer Benson decided that because the young black male had disappeared from sight, he should stay with the injured woman and call for an ambulance. While awaiting the arrival of the ambulance, the injured woman, Ms. Peever, told Police Officer Benson that she was the owner of the boutique and that the young black male had taken approximately $475 from the cash register while she went to check the price of an item. She also mentioned that the boutique was presently unattended because her two sales people had not come to work that morning.
Police Officer Benson called for back-up assistance at 12:35 P.M. and asked the dispatcher to send a Police Officer directly to the boutique located at 338 West 44th Street. Police Officers Maloney and Hernandez arrived at the boutique at 1:05 P.M. and saw that the store had been ransacked. Racks of clothing had been thrown down and the floor was littered with garments. The two Police Officers then conducted a search of the premises. When Police Officer Benson arrived at the premises at 1:20 P.M., the Police Officers told him that it would be impossible to determine what items had been taken since they had no listing of the store’s merchandise.
A young woman then entered the store and identified herself as Ms. Peake, the part-time assistant whose shift started at 1:30 P.M. On seeing the condition of the store, she asked the Police Officers what had happened. They asked her where the merchandise list for the store was kept and she informed them that the stock clerks, Ms. Feldman and Mr. Austin, kept that information. Ms. Peake said that she would call Ms. Feldman in order to get a current listing of the store’s merchandise.
Ms. Peake advised the Police Officers that several items were missing from the display case, including three fur jackets, seven leather handbags, and four silk blouses, amounting to at least $985 in value.

Police Officers Murphy, shield number 7348, and Dunkin, shield number 3329, were assigned to patrol sector E in the 90th Precinct at 3:30 A.M. in patrol car 1749 on October 2nd, 1984.
Sector E is a residential area of rundown dilapidated houses where most of the city’s poor live. Police Officers Murphy and Dunkin were traveling south on Jersey Street having a fairly quiet tour when they heard a woman’s scream coming from an alley about two blocks south on Jersey Street. Police Officer Dunkin looked at his watch and saw that it was 3:33 A.M. The police officers sped to the area where they believed the scream came from, and stopped in front of 998 Jersey Street, which was an abandoned building commonly frequented by junkies and derelicts. Police Officer Murphy called the Police Dispatcher at 3:35 A.M. to inform him that the police officers were investigating screams, and requested back-up assistance. The police officers then walked to the side of the building which forms an alleyway with 994 Jersey Street. Using flashlights, the police officers entered into an alley until they came upon a woman lying on her stomach. Police Officer Dunkin touched her arm, feeling for a pulse, when the woman started moaning. At 3:38 A.M. Police Officer Murphy radioed for an ambulance, while Police Officer Dunkin aided and gathered information from the victim. The woman told the police officer that her name is Gloria Vargas, age 21, born on 5/15/63 and that she lives at 1023 Jersey Avenue, apartment 3H, with her mother and father, Anna and Joseph Vargas, telephone number 784-3942. Ms. Vargas stated that she had been attending a birthday party for her friend, Jane Colon at 694 Jersey Street, apartment 6I, when she decided to leave at around 3:20 A.M. Since she didn’t live far and the night was warm, she decided to walk home against the wishes of her friends.
She further stated to Police Officer Dunkin that she did not remember much after that. All she could recall was that she was four blocks from home when she was hit on the head and then woke up in the alley with two cops looking down on her and her purse missing. At 3:45 A.M. Police Officers Vasquez, shield number 473, and Booker, shield number 498, arrived in patrol car 1754 and were informed by Police Officer Dunkin to search the area for any suspicious person carrying a lady’s purple purse. At 3:47 A.M. an ambulance arrived and Paramedics Anders, shield number 561, and Hargrove, shield number 623, administered first aid and prepared to take Ms. Vargas to Richmond County Hospital. Ms. Vargas refused to go to the hospital and stated that she wanted to go home so that her parents would not worry. After their attempts to convince Ms. Vargas to go to a hospital failed, Police Officers Murphy and Dunkin called the dispatcher at 4:02 A.M. to report they were escorting Ms. Vargas home. After a search of the area for suspects proved negative, Police Officers Vasquez and Booker reported to the dispatcher that they were resuming patrol at 4:05 A.M.
Police Officers Murphy and Dunkin arrived at the home of Ms. Vargas and saw that she was safely inside before calling the dispatcher at 4:10 A.M. to indicate that they were resuming patrol. The police officers completed Crime Report number 6395 and Aided Report number 523 at 4:30 A.M.

Answer questions 113 through 115 solely on the basis of the following passage.
On Monday evening, February 6th, 1984 while I was on duty in the guard box outside the Liberian Embassy on Lexington Avenue and 38th Street, I noticed a gray Volvo, New York license plate No. 846 DSB, parked across the street on the northeast corner of 38th Street at approximately 5:15 P.M. There were two occupants in the car. One was a white male who had gray hair and was wearing a pale blue jacket; the other was a young male with a dark complexion who was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a dark gray jacket.
After about 20 minutes, the man wearing the dark gray jacket got out of the car and read the traffic sign which described the parking regulations. He then spoke to the driver of the car, the man wearing the blue jacket, and walked up 38th Street toward Park Avenue. Because I know the parking rules of this area and since the car was not in violation, I ceased to observe it. However, approximately five minutes later, my attention was drawn to the sight of the male passenger who had previously left the car to walk up 38th Street. He now appeared on Lexington Avenue from the southeast corner of 39th Street and entered a high-rise building located directly opposite the Embassy. Almost simultaneously, a blue Ford, bearing a New Jersey license plate No. 691 ASD, pulled up to the curb in front of the building, and the driver, a tall white male with blonde hair, who was wearing a dark blue suit and carrying a briefcase, got out and entered the lobby.
I walked across the street from the guard box and went into the lobby of the high-rise building where the doorman hurried over to ask if he could assist me. There was no sign of either of the men. After describing them, I asked the doorman if he knew whether they were tenants or visitors to the building. He said the tall blonde man was a tenant by the name of George Altman who lived in apartment 19G. The other young, dark-complexioned man announced himself as Mr. Donabuto and entered the elevator with Mr. Altman, whom he had come to visit. The doorman also added that Mr. Donabuto had visited the building at least twice the previous week. On one occasion he visited Mr. Ehrenwald, a tenant who lives in apartment 19C. On the other occasion he visited Mr. Escobar, who lives in apartment 19D. In addition, the doorman said that he had observed Mr. Yepes, the driver of the gray Volvo, visit Mr. Altman the day before.
After investigating the layout of the building, I decided to make an entry in the Activity Log and report the incident as suspicious due to the fact that apartment 19G directly overlooks the room occupied by the Consul General in the Liberian Embassy.
