Explanation:

First Question (Evidence for Miss Brent poisoning Mrs. Rogers)

To determine the evidence suggesting Miss Brent poisoned Mrs. Rogers, we analyze each option:

• "She was standing over Mrs. Rogers when others entered" – This doesn't directly imply poisoning.
• "She openly admitted her guilt" – The text doesn't suggest she admitted guilt.
• "She has prior knowledge of poisons" – This is a key point as knowledge of poisons would support the idea she could have poisoned Mrs. Rogers.
• "She was the last person seen with Mrs. Rogers" – Just being last seen doesn't prove poisoning.

So the correct option is the one about prior knowledge of poisons.

For why Blore accuses Lombard:

• "Lombard has a revolver and lied about it" – In the context of "And Then There Were None", Lombard having a revolver and lying about it is a reason Blore is suspicious.
• "Lombard refused to help with the investigation" – Lombard doesn't refuse to help.
• "Lombard has a criminal record" – The accusation isn't about a criminal record.
• "Lombard left the island at night" – This isn't the reason for suspicion.

So the correct option is about the revolver and lying.

For Justice Wargrave’s argument:

• "Women have no motive for murder... (with physical evidence part)" – This misrepresents his view.
• "Women are equally capable of committing murder" – Wargrave argues women are as capable as men of murder, so this is correct.
• "Women are too weak to kill someone" – He doesn't think women are too weak.
• "Women have no motive for murder" – This is incorrect; he acknowledges women can have motives.

So the correct option is about women being equally capable.

Answer:

C. She has prior knowledge of poisons. (Assuming the options are labeled A - D with this as option C; adjust label if needed)
