The store manager has several ways he can proceed.  Rank the following options in order of most reasonable to least reasonable:

A. The store manager stops her, takes the CD back, and yells at her in front of other customers; then lets her go home.

B. The manager calls the police and keeps Kathleen in his office until they come.

C. The store manager tells his armed security guard to arrest Kathleen.  The guard pulls his gun, takes Kathleen to the back of the store, and then calls the police.

D. The manager tells an assistant manager to keep Kathleen in the back room until the police arrive.  The assistant manager is called away on another task, and ties Kathleen’s hands and feet together so she cannot run away before the police can get there.

E. The manager locks Kathleen in the storage room for about seven hours, until he is ready to close the store for the day.  Then he takes her to the local police station.
