Which elements comprise simple robbery?

Which elements comprise simple robbery?

• A. Taking anything of value
• B. From person/immediate control
• C. Using force or intimidation
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Simple robbery requires stealing something of value from another person, taking it directly from the person or from the victim’s immediate control, and doing so by force or intimidation, with the intent to permanently deprive the owner. Each of the first three items describes one of those essential elements, so picking all of the above is correct. (Note that there’s also an intent-to-deprive element beyond these, but it’s not listed in the choices.)
