Whether it's through online activity, GPS data, or even smart home devices, digital ____ are almost always left behind.

## Answer

Digital forensics has become crucial in solving modern crimes. Just as fingerprints can place a suspect at a crime **scene**, digital footprints can prove equally telling. Whether it's through online activity, GPS data, or even smart home devices, digital **traces** are almost always left behind. Forensic experts in this field are increasingly vital in piecing together these digital puzzles to solve complex **cases**.

## Explanation

Blank 1 completes the set phrase "a crime scene," the place where evidence is found. "Range" and "sectors" do not form this phrase. Blank 2 needs a plural noun for what is "left behind," like "footprints." "Traces" are small marks left by activity. Blank 3 pairs with "solve," and you solve "cases," not "priorities."

## Hints

- Look for nouns that fit the context of a location, physical evidence, or the conclusion of an investigation.
- Consider the parallel structure used in the first two sentences to identify the missing nouns.
