Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The second and third sentence combine to give
support to choice a. The statement stresses that
there must be a judge’s approval (i.e., legal
authorization) before a search can be conducted.
Choices b and d are wrong because it is
not enough for the police to have direct evidence
or a reasonable belief—a judge must
authorize the search for it to be legal. Choices
c and e are not mentioned in the passage.
