Show summary

Police chief: This department's officers are, of course, prohibited from drinking on the job. ████████ █████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██ ██ █████████ ████████ ███ ████████ ██ ████ ██████████ ██ ███████████ ██████████ ████ ████ ███████ █████ █████████ ███ ████████ ███ █████ ██ ██████████ ██████ ████ █████

Summary

Cops can’t normally drink on the job, but the police chief says there’s one exception: when they’re working undercover in crime-filled nightclubs. Why? Because this type of work is extremely valuable.

Notable Assumptions

This is a bit of an atypical question, but it ends up being relatively straightforward. The author is assuming there’s some reason that undercover cops need to drink at nightclubs, so we need an answer choice that provides this reason. The specific reason doesn’t matter, as long as it provides some explanation of why these undercover cops need to drink to do their jobs.
