2. Who is most likely to be held in a jail? a. Someone sentenced to 10 years for a felony. b. Someone awaiting trial. c. Someone convicted of a federal crime. d. Someone who escaped from prison.

The correct answer is b. Someone awaiting trial.<br /><br />Explanation:<br />- Option a: Someone sentenced to 10 years for a felony would typically be held in a prison, not a jail.<br />- Option b: Individuals awaiting trial are often held in jail, as jails are facilities for holding people awaiting trial or serving short sentences.<br />- Option c: Someone convicted of a federal crime would usually be held in a federal prison, not a jail.<br />- Option d: Someone who escaped from prison would be considered a fugitive and not necessarily held in a jail.<br /><br />Therefore, the most likely person to be held in a jail is someone awaiting trial.
