Which term describes a directive generally beyond the dispatcher’s scope of practice or incorrect?

• A. CID
• B. Freelance Question
• C. Freelance Instruction
• D. Leading Question

Answer: (C)

This item tests recognizing terms that describe instructions or directives that aren’t authorized or are inappropriate for dispatch. The best fit is Freelance Instruction because it clearly signals an instruction given without proper authority, i.e., by someone outside the dispatcher’s legitimate scope, which can lead to unsafe or incorrect actions. The other terms don’t convey that issue: CID is not about an instructive directive; a leading question describes a biased way of asking something, not an instruction; Freelance Question isn’t a standard term for directives and doesn’t imply authority problems.
