Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

Real policeman, both in Britain and the united state, hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV- if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real-life revolves around the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court, he has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad ladies or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty -or not-of stupid, petty crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as he’s arrested, the story is over, in real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching. The police have an elaborate machinery which eventually shows up most wanted men.
Which of the following statements is correct?

  • Policemen feel that the image of their lives shown on TV is not accurate.

  • Policemen feel that there is a close resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.

  • Policeman recognize no similarity in their lives and what they see on TV.

  • Policeman recognize no similarity in their lives and what they see on TV.
