2. Advising the victim not to resist is standard protocol in kidnapping scenarios as resistance can provoke violence from the perpetrators, endangering the victim’s life. This is a plausible and important step.
3. Engaging in negotiations rather than immediately attempting a heroic intervention is often preferred to ensure the victim’s safety and explore possibilities for a peaceful resolution. This is a plausible strategy in crisis management.
4. Assuming you can *always* reason out with kidnappers and win them over is unrealistic and dangerous. Kidnappers’ motivations, mental state, and intentions can vary greatly, and they may not be amenable to reason or persuasion. This is a flawed assumption in crisis management.
Therefore, actions 1, 2, and 3 are generally considered appropriate approaches in handling a kidnapping situation, while action 4 is not.
