gabriel, a police officer, enters an interrogation room to speak with a suspect. rather than immediately jumping in to talk about the crime, he instead starts by talking about the weather and asking the suspect how their day is going. what is gabriel most likely trying to do by opening the conversation this way?
○ solicit an immediate confession
○ build rapport
○ teach co - workers new interviewing strategies
○ show the suspect respect

Explanation:

In interrogation, building rapport (a relationship of trust/understanding) is done by casual conversation (like about weather/day) before discussing the crime. Soliciting confession is direct, teaching co - workers is irrelevant, and showing respect isn't the main aim here. So Gabriel is building rapport.

Answer:

B. build rapport
