From where did they find the name of the hotel where Evan was staying...
McLeery showed a photocopied sheet to the Governor which had been cleverly superimposed on the last page of the German question paper. The Governor decoded it for Newsbury and by putting together the six figure reference, the index and centre number 313/271 and with the help of the ‘Ordinance Survey Map of Oxfordshire’ he was able to locate Evans in the middle of Chipping Norton. The correction slip provided him with the name of the hotel, ‘The Golden Lion’ where Evans was staying. So Evans was beaten in his own game as he left clues which aided in his arrest. He made things easier as he left the question paper behind in the cell. The clues the Governor got from it were sufficient to help him locate Evans.

Answer:
The correct answer is option 'D': from the correction slip.
Explanation:
The name of the hotel where Evan was staying was found from the correction slip. Let's understand the context and background to have a clear understanding of how they found the name.
Context:
It seems that there was some kind of investigation or search operation going on, possibly related to Evan or a case in which Evan was involved. The authorities or individuals involved in the investigation were trying to locate Evan, and one of the key pieces of information they needed was the name of the hotel where Evan was staying.
Identification of the name of the hotel:
1. Police: The police may have been involved in the investigation, but the question specifies that they did not provide the information about the hotel. Hence, option 'A' is incorrect.
2. People: It is possible that people who knew Evan or had some information about his whereabouts could have provided the name of the hotel. However, the question does not mention any specific individuals or sources providing this information. Hence, option 'B' is incorrect.
3. Secret agent: The involvement of a secret agent is not mentioned in the question, and there is no indication that a secret agent was responsible for finding the name of the hotel. Hence, option 'C' is incorrect.
The Correction Slip:
The correct answer, option 'D', states that the name of the hotel where Evan was staying was found from the correction slip. A correction slip is an official document used to correct errors or update information in existing documents or records. It could be a document that contains updated details about Evan's stay, such as a change in the name of the hotel or any other relevant information. This correction slip was likely discovered during the investigation, providing the authorities with the accurate and updated name of the hotel where Evan was staying.
Therefore, based on the given options and the context provided, the correct answer is option 'D': from the correction slip.
