БИЛЕТ №223. Mind the text “The Adventure of Three Students” by A. Conan Doyle and with the help of the questions describe the events in 10-15 sentences. 1. Where did Mr. Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson come to? 2. What kind of examination was for Fortescue Scholarship? 3. How did Mr. Soams realise that someone had been in his room? 4. What helped Mr. Sherlock Holmes to find the student who took the papers to copy them? Once Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson came to University town to do some historical research. One day a university professor Soams came to their place and explained that locked his flat and went out for tea as he did every day. When he returned he discovered that the key to his office was in his lock as his bannister had left it there accidentally. This was not all that unusual but when he went inside he discovered that the papers for the exam had been moved and it was clear that someone had been looking at them. There was an examination for Fortescue Scholarship to get free study. There were three suspects in this story, the only three students to take the exam. The first was Giles Gilchrist an athletic and hard - working young man, Ras - quiet and methodical and Miles McLaren who was prone to gambling, had been in trouble before. Holmes was to make the logical choice who had committed the crime. Sherlock Holmes found out that someone had been copying the papers, saw the professor returning and ran away. Holmes discovered that someone could see into the room if he were at least as tall as six feet. As the clues come together-Holmes found balls of mud and gloves, the bannister also became more and more suspect.No one really believed that he committed the crime and so it seemed odd. Holmes made the connection and came to conclusion that it was Giles Gilchrist. Banister had once worked for the student’s father and knew him as a child and had already solved the crime and was helping to cover it up. This brought about not only the solution to the mystery, but a good solution for everyone involved.
