Question

select the correct answer.
daniel has seized david’s briefcase full of cash and important documents illegally by threatening to shoot him. which crime has daniel committed?
a. kidnapping
b. robbery
c. larceny
d. burglary

Explanation:

To determine the crime, we analyze each option:

• A. Kidnapping: Involves abducting a person, not seizing property, so incorrect.
• B. Robbery: Defined as taking property from a person by force or threat of force. Daniel threatened David (with shooting) to seize his briefcase, matching robbery.
• C. Larceny: Involves taking property without force or threat (e.g., theft by stealth), which does not fit here.
• D. Burglary: Involves entering a structure to commit theft, not applicable here.

Answer:

B. robbery
