Answer:
The answer would most likely be A
Step-by-step explanation:
”The juvenile crime problem was solved” indicates that in the future, the crime would be solved. “Ellery braced himself and opened the door” does not give us hints about anything in the future. “He laid his coat and hat gently on her desk” doesn’t give us hints about the future. “It was one of the three he had spotted, the husky blond one.” One of the three he had spotted was in the past when he broke into the store.
I might be wrong so if I am please forgive me; after I take the quiz, if I am wrong I’ll edit a different answer.
It is not A
The next best answer might be D
