Answer 1

Answer:

Question 3:

What was Soapy’s first plan? Why did it not work?

Answer:

He would go to eat at restaurant and would then tell them he had no money. They would immediately call a cop who would arrest him. But as soon as he put his foot inside the restaurant, the waiters blocked his entry. Thus his first plan did not work.

Question 4:

“But the cop’s mind would not consider Soapy”. What did the cop not consider, and why?

Answer:

The policeman did not believe that Soapy had broken the window glass. The reason was that no such criminal would stop and talk to a policeman.
