Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic rules?

• A. 1) 1. Assume a low profile; 2. Be unpredictable; 3. Remain Vigilant
• B. Carry a weapon
• C. Never discuss security with others
• D. Always follow standard procedures

Answer: (B)

The question is testing your ability to identify the three behavioral guidelines implied by the basic rules. Those rules describe how to conduct yourself to stay effective and low-profile: assume a low profile, be unpredictable, and remain vigilant. Carrying a weapon isn’t described as a behavior to adopt; it’s an equipment choice, not one of the behavioral guidelines given. So it doesn’t fit with the trio of rules. The other options touch on staying discreet or following procedures in a general safety sense, but the three basic rules themselves are the specific behaviors listed in the first statement, making the carry-a-weapon option the one that doesn’t belong.
