The statement that overwhelming investigative findings can cause a guilty subject to give up is supported by the material.

• A. True
• B. Not determinative
• C. Only in certain cases
• D. False

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that presenting a strong, evidentiary case during interrogation increases the likelihood of a confession from a guilty subject. When the investigator lays out overwhelming findings, the suspect faces a clear picture that conviction is highly probable. That reality often shifts the cost-benefit balance: denying guilt becomes less appealing because the chance of being seen as guilty and punished is high, while admitting guilt can offer a quicker, sometimes more favorable resolution. The material typically supports this by showing higher confession rates when the evidence against the suspect is strong and well-presented. It’s not a guarantee—some guilty individuals may still resist or try to minimize what they admit to—but the overall pattern is that strong, presented evidence commonly leads to a confession.
