baz was brought into the local police station to be questioned. when he met his interviewer, he was surprised to learn they both share a love for sports, particularly baseball. which rapport - building strategy did the officer most likely use during bazs interview?

developing shared experiences
engaging in small talk
identifying things in common
mirroring

Explanation:

The officer and Baz discovered they both loved sports (especially baseball), which is about finding common interests to build rapport. "Identifying things in common" matches this, as it's about recognizing shared interests (like sports love) to connect. Other options: "Developing shared experiences" implies creating new shared moments (not just recognizing existing), "Engaging in small talk" is general casual chat (not focused on shared interests), "Mirroring" is copying behavior (not about shared interests). So the key is identifying existing commonalities (love for sports).

Answer:

Identifying things in common
