Jim is arrested in a criminal case. He refuses to answer any question about the crime, claiming that he is "taking the Fifth Amendment." Which of these means the same as "taking the Fifth Amendment"?

Jim does not have to answer questions that might incriminate him.

Explanation:

The United States Fifth Amendment stated that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury... nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself..."

This implies that when under arrest, a criminal defendant may plead or take the fifth amendment by not answering if he or she thinks answering the question may incriminate him or herself.

Hence, in this case, taking the fifth amendment means that "Jim does not have to answer questions that might incriminate him."
