Since the first edition of Emotional Survival was published in 2002, law enforcement felony deaths in the United States have ranged between which two numbers?

• A. 23-45
• B. 46-66
• C. 70-90
• D. 100-120

Answer: (D)

This question tests how to read and interpret yearly trend data for a specific metric. When we look at law enforcement felonious deaths per year in the United States since 2002, the counts have generally fallen in the tens rather than hundreds. You’ll typically see yearly figures in the mid-20s up to the mid-60s, with some years a bit higher or lower. A range like 100–120 would imply yearly totals far above what the historical data show and doesn’t fit the common pattern described in the source material. So the sensible takeaway is that the counts stay in the tens range, and the choice that sits within that pattern is the one that matches the usual historical trend. If a source ever lists 100–120, it’s worth double-checking whether the figure refers to a different metric (for example, cumulative totals over many years) rather than annual counts.
