What should you do after getting a key out of one of the “lock boxes”?
- A.
Congratulate yourself on completing a complex task involving a memory-thought-action repertoire.
- B.
Replace the key and shut the lockbox door.
- C.
Replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and move the code numbers a little so that the next person won’t have to move them much to open the lockbox
- D.
Replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and scramble the code very, very well.
Correct Answer
D. Replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and scramble the code very, very well.Explanation
After getting the key out of one of the "lock boxes," the appropriate action is to replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and scramble the code very, very well. This ensures that the lockbox remains secure and prevents unauthorized access. By scrambling the code, it becomes difficult for the next person to open the lockbox without significant effort. This action maintains the integrity of the lockbox and ensures its contents are protected.Rate this question:
