    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The given answer "Receiving Poorly" is the most appropriate response in this situation. When someone says "10-1" in radio communication, it means that the signal is weak and the message is being received poorly. This is a common phrase used in radio communication to indicate a weak or unclear transmission. Therefore, "Receiving Poorly" is the correct answer in this context.

    The phrase "Receiving Well" is a common radio communication term used to indicate that a message has been received clearly and without any issues. It is often used in situations where there may be interference or poor signal quality. In this context, "Receiving Well" can be interpreted as a positive response to a message or instruction, indicating that it has been understood and will be acted upon.

    The given answer "Stop Transmitting" is the correct choice because the question is asking for the correct response to the situation described in the preceding text. The phrases "Your Location," "Did You Receive," "Recall," and "Stop Transmitting" are all commands or instructions that may be used in a communication scenario. However, in this case, the appropriate response would be to "Stop Transmitting" as it indicates that the person should cease their transmission or communication.

    The given correct answer "Relay To" suggests that the action to be taken after subtracting 5 from 10 is to relay the information to someone or something. This implies that there is a need to pass on the message or information to another person or system. The answer does not provide any specific details about who or what the information should be relayed to, but it indicates that this is the appropriate action to be taken after the subtraction.

    Correct Answer
    A. Out Of Service
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Out Of Service" because when something is "Out Of Service," it means that it is not functioning or available for use. In the given context, "10-7" is a radio code used by law enforcement to indicate that an officer is "Out Of Service" and not available for duty. This could be due to various reasons such as taking a break, being on a different assignment, or dealing with an issue that prevents them from responding to calls.

    Correct Answer
    A. Repeat
    Explanation
    The given options are all words that can be associated with actions or situations. "Repeat" is the correct answer because it is a common command used in various situations to instruct someone to do something again or to reiterate information. The other options, "Block Road," "On-Scene," and "Scramble," do not fit the context of the question and are not commonly associated with the action of repeating.

    Correct Answer
    A. Weather/Road Cond.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Weather/Road Cond. This means that the reason for the delay or cancellation of serving civil process could be due to the weather or road conditions. If the weather is severe or the roads are unsafe to travel on, it may not be possible to carry out the task of serving civil process. This could include delivering legal documents or serving court orders. Poor weather or road conditions can hinder the ability to travel safely and efficiently, making it necessary to postpone or reschedule the process serving.

    Explanation
    The given phrase "10-15" is a code used by police or law enforcement to indicate that they have a prisoner in custody. This code is commonly used to communicate this information quickly and discreetly over the radio or other communication systems.

This could be due to various reasons such as completing paperwork, refueling, restocking supplies, or awaiting further instructions or assignments.

Out of these options, "Conduct Investigation" seems to be the most appropriate action to take in this scenario.

    The given answer "Negative" is the correct response to a communication using the phrase "10-54." In radio communication, "10-54" is a code that means "Negative" or "No." This response is used to indicate that the request or statement made by the other party is not possible or not applicable.

"Detective Needed" implies the need for investigative expertise. "Where Can __ Be Reached" indicates a search for someone's contact information. Only "Complete Assign.

    The phrase "Computer Down" is the correct answer because it is the only option that is related to a technical issue or problem. The other options, "Can You Copy," "Check Registration," and "EST. Time Of Arrival," do not indicate any technical difficulty. Therefore, "Computer Down" is the most appropriate option in this context.

    Rate this question:

The other options, such as "Scramble" and "Serving Civil Process," do not make sense in this context.

    The given correct answer "Send Helicopter" suggests that in response to the situation described as "10-72," the appropriate action to take is to send a helicopter. The other options, "Operator On Duty," "Negative," and "Correct Time," do not seem relevant or appropriate in this context.

This could be in the context of checking if there is a professional available to administer a breathalyzer test for measuring blood alcohol content.
