Authors of detective fiction, more often than not, create a very clever investigator and a rival (a rather incompetent investigator) who choose to adopt separate paths / strategies to solve a crime. The individual adventures of both in their attempts to solve the same crime frequently project the incompetent investigator getting misled as the criminals had planned and, of course, the competent detective solving the case after a violent confrontation. Many literary analysts believe that writers often adopt this style of narration so that it lends additional complexity and challenge in solving the investigation. Which of the following most logically follows from the statements above?Choices:- A well-written detective story consists of an investigation being undertaken by a competent and incompetent investigator.
