Which action is part of the goals of an interrogation?

• A. Confronting with anomalies and deceptions
• B. Ignoring inconsistencies
• C. Immediately offering a plea deal
• D. Providing a false alibi

Answer: (A)

Interrogations aim to uncover truth by testing what a person says against known facts and evidence. Confronting anomalies and deceptions is a key technique here: when you call out contradictions or false details, you push the suspect to resolve the inconsistency. That moment often prompts a more truthful admission, clarification of events, or the disclosure of motives and details that were previously hidden. It also helps you judge credibility by comparing the suspect’s story with other information you’ve gathered. Ignoring inconsistencies would leave questions unanswered and allow fabrications to stand unchallenged, while offering a plea deal early or presenting a false alibi runs counter to the goal of obtaining accurate, reliable information.
