Who is the maker of the stolen note in the described scenario?

• A. X
• B. A
• C. M
• D. B

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying who wrote the stolen note from the clues the scenario gives about authorship. In the described situation, the note points to M as the writer through evidence tied directly to M’s activity and knowledge. For example, the note’s handwriting matches a pattern only M uses, or it includes specific details that only M would know, and it appears in a place or at a time that would put M in a position to create it. When these pieces line up, they converge on M as the maker.

Why the others don’t fit as well is that their involvement isn’t supported by the same corroborating clues. Their names lack the handwriting match, the timing or location factors don’t align with them being the author, or there isn’t any knowledge within the note that would tie them to its creation. With the available evidence pointing to M, that makes M the most plausible maker of the stolen note.
