The police in the big city were looking for a thief. At last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him - from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat - he suddenly attacked the policemen and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away.
    Then a week later the telephone rang in the police-station, and somebody said, "You are looking for Bill Cross, aren't you?"
    "Yes. "
    "Well, he left here for Waterbridge an hour ago. "
    Waterbridge was a small town about 100 miles from the city. The city police at ence sent four different photographs of the thief to the police in Waterbridge.
    Less than twelve hours later they got a telephone call from the police in Waterbridge. "We have caught the fourth this evening, we think. "


(    )The city police were told that the thief had gone to Waterbridge a week before.


What do you think, I think it's F.

You're right, it's false. The police were told that the thief had left for Waterbridge an hour before at the time of the call: he presumably does not even arrive there until after the police receive the call.

Thank you,sir. Sometimes the key is not correct.
And what about 55?

The answer is C. The main idea of this story is that Mary attends class for the benefit of her children, who come to be successful because of her efforts. She might indeed be a kind person (B), but the story focuses on her mothering, not her character as a "kind woman".
