Explanation with Extracts: In interviews, deceptive subjects often stall to gain time to construct plausible responses. TheCFE Prep - Investigationsnotes that deceptive interviewees may ask for questions to be repeated or otherwise delay in order to think of what to say.

When a suspect becomes withdrawn or emotional after alibis are diffused:
"The interviewer should not remain silent or discourage the accused from showing emotion. Such reactions often indicate consideration of confession. At this point, the interviewer should present an alternative question and continue reinforcing guilt with evidence".
Thus, Scarlett shouldcontinue presenting evidence.

TheFraud Examiners Manualstates:
"The expenditures method works best when the subject spends illicit income on consumables (e.g., travel and entertainment), because when the subject spends the illicit income, it will not cause an increase in net worth." CFE Prepconfirms:
"The expenditures method ... is best used when the subject spends illicit income on consumables (such as travel and entertainment) that would not cause an increase in net worth." Thus, the correct answer isA.

Best practices emphasize separation:
* "Interviews should be conducted one-on-one to reduce the possibility of collusion, contamination, or intimidation of witnesses" (Fraud Examiners Manual - Interviewing Guidelines).This ensures independent and uncontaminated statements.

Limitations of online public record searches include:
* Need to search multiple jurisdictions.
* Records are often only abstracts.
* Information must be verified for accuracy.There isno mentionthat online record vendors are "difficult to find." In fact, many such vendors exist.
