If an error is discovered in the investigator's notes, what should the investigator do?

  1. Erase the error completely

  2. Draw a line through it and initial the error

  3. Cover it with correction fluid

  4. Leave it but make a note elsewhere

The correct answer is: Draw a line through it and initial the error

An investigator should draw a line through the error and initial it, rather than completely erasing it, covering it with correction fluid, or leaving it without making a note elsewhere. Completely erasing the error can be seen as trying to hide or cover up a mistake, while covering it with correction fluid can make the notes difficult to read. Leaving it without making a note elsewhere can also lead to confusion or discrepancies in the investigation. Therefore, the best option is to mark the error and provide a brief explanation or correction.
