When the government of a nation announced recently that a leader of the nationâ€™s political opposition had died of a mysterious illness in prison, few seasoned observers of the regime were surprised. As the police captain in an old movie remarked when asked about the condition of a prisoner, â€œWeâ€™re trying to decide whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.â€

Can't decide between B and E...

If on the exam, I'd guess B and move on

A and D are basically the same (if A, why not D? and vice versa)

As for C, it is just what the passage suggests by using the word "mysterious"... it's nothing new....

Ack! had 50% chance of getting it right, and got it wrong! :cry:
