Cedric Simpson is consultant pathologist to Scotland yard, professor of forensic, or courtroom medicine, and lecturer at Oxford University. To his work as forensic pathologist, examining bodies to determine the cause, time and means of death, he brings a breadth of knowledge and a power of observation and deduction which make him a latter-day Sherlock Holmes.
Once, he was called to a seaside town where the body of a man bound in ropes had been found in the sea. Simpson examined the body and noted the facts: a man of about forty, well-nourished, no external injuries tattooed in the manner of sailors. He concluded that it was not a case of murder, but suicide. The detective in charge was flabbergasted. "The man's trussed up like a chicken ready for the oven" he said. "If you will observe," replied Simpson, "every bit of rope has been passed round the body and each knot tied in an upward position: pulled tight, very likely by the man's own hands and teeth. There is even a small strand of rope still sticking to the crevice between the two front teeth."
The investigation confirmed that it was, indeed, suicide. The sailor knowing himself to be a strong swimmer, had tied himself up before jumping over the side of his ship into the sea.

21. The author compares Simpson to Sherlock Holmes because he
a. is a well known writer
b. is highly educated
c. is a forensic pathologist
d. has an unusual ability to solve crimes

22. Simpson's success lies chiefly in his ability to
a. conduct post-mortems b. examine wounds
c. notice striking details d. interpret clues

23. The policeman in the seaside town thought it was murder because
a. there were external injuries on the body
b. the body had been found in the sea
c. the body was bound
d. there was a tattoo-mark on the body

24. Simpson deducted that the man had tied the ropes himself because
a. the knots were tied in an unusual position
b. the knots were not tightly tied
c. not all the knots were pointing up
d. all the knots were pointing up

25. The sailor had tied himself up
a. so as to save himself
b. because he wanted to swim
c. so that the police would think that he had been murdered
d. so that his body would sink
