Question 5

A suspect's natural writing habits are more effectively demonstrated on what are known as normal-course-of-business documents.

Accepted Answer

Normal-course-of-business documents are ones that a suspect would naturally write in the course of their daily activities, such as emails, notes, or reports.

Accepted Answer

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) is an organization that publishes recommended standards and procedures for examination of documents. The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) are government agencies that may use these standards and procedures, but they are not the publishing organization.

Question 10

Spraying a fine mist of ______ and placing charred documents in a box with loosely packed cotton may help prevent further deterioration of the document.&#10;A) clear varnish&#10;B) white paint&#10;C) clear paste&#10;D) spray adhesive

Accepted Answer

Clear varnish is a commonly used preservation method for documents because it creates a barrier against moisture, pollutants, and other damaging environmental factors. The fine mist helps to evenly distribute the varnish and protect the document without causing damage or discoloration. White paint, clear paste, and spray adhesive are not suitable for preserving documents as they can cause discoloration, smudging, and stuck pages.
