Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) The interview order should track the proximity of the individual to the subject of interest, beginning with peripheral players, then moving to the insiders. In a criminal investigation, the order of witnesses often proceeds as follows: first, the neutral third parties, then the corroborative witness, then the suspected co-conspirators, and at last, the target.

Answer to Question 2

The most common forms of alternative dispute resolution are mediation and arbitration. Mediation is a non-binding informal process wherein a mediator evaluates the arguments of both sides and helps the parties reach common ground. If mediation fails, the parties may proceed with litigation. Arbitration, on the other hand, is a mini trial wherein each party presents its case to one or more arbitrators, who render a binding decision that generally cannot be appealed. Arbitration is often voluntary but can also be mandatory.
