    A. Grip onto your firearm, aim down to the man with the knife and announce yourself as NYPD.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to grip onto your firearm, aim down at the man with the knife, and announce yourself as NYPD. This response prioritizes the safety of both the officer and the public. By gripping onto the firearm, the officer is prepared to defend themselves if necessary. Aiming down at the man with the knife shows a clear display of force, which may deter him from causing harm. Announcing oneself as NYPD helps establish authority and may de-escalate the situation by letting the individuals know that law enforcement is present.

    A. Call for back-up immediately, and wait for them to arrive, seeing as you are out-numbered.
    Explanation
    In a situation where you see three armed men holding a clerk hostage, it is important to prioritize safety and not engage directly. Calling for backup immediately and waiting for them to arrive is the best course of action, especially considering that you are outnumbered. This allows for a coordinated and strategic approach to handle the situation effectively and minimize potential harm to yourself and others involved.

    Correct Answer
    First Degree Murder, 1st Degree Murder, 1st Degree Homocide, First Degree Homocide
    Explanation
    The correct answer is First Degree Murder. First degree murder refers to the intentional killing of another person with premeditation and malice aforethought. This means that the act was planned and executed with the intention to cause death, and there was a clear and deliberate intent to commit the crime. The term "1st Degree Murder" is another way of expressing the same concept. "1st Degree Homicide" and "First Degree Homicide" are incorrect terms as they do not specifically denote the premeditated and intentional nature of the act.

    In this situation, the priority should be to ensure the safety of all individuals involved, including the officer, the lady being held at gunpoint, and any potential bystanders. By calling for backup immediately, the officer can ensure that additional support is on the way to assist in apprehending the suspect.

This is because handcuffing the suspect ensures their safety and prevents them from escaping or causing harm. Searching the suspect for possessions helps to ensure officer safety and may uncover any weapons or evidence related to the crime.
