An armed man demands money from a merchant, presenting a weapon.

• A. Armed Robbery
• B. Loud Party Disturbing
• C. Subject threatening
• D. Fight

Answer: (A)

Recognizing this situation hinges on the definition of a robbery: a crime where someone uses or brandishes a weapon to take money or property from another person, typically through threat or force. Here, a man is demanding money from a merchant and is presenting a weapon, which shows an intent to steal achieved by threat or use of force. That combination—the weapon and the demand for money—fits armed robbery. The other scenarios describe different kinds of incidents: a loud party disturbance is about noise and not theft; a subject threatening could involve intimidation but not necessarily a theft of property; a fight implies a physical altercation without a described taking of property.
