As a screener, what is one thing you can do to get better looks at a target?

• A. Step in, change your SO/LA (with MM permission)
• B. Step back and observe from a distance
• C. Ask others to speak louder
• D. Use a longer lens

Answer: (A)

Seeing more clearly comes from adjusting where you stand relative to the target. Stepping in to change your position and line of sight, and doing so with MM permission, gives you a closer, different angle that can reveal details hidden from farther away. This improves resolution and reduces occlusions, making it easier to evaluate what you observe. The other options don’t improve visual access in the same way: stepping back reduces detail; asking others to speak louder doesn’t change what you can see; a longer lens might help with magnification, but it’s limited by distance, safety, and permissions, so it isn’t as reliable as changing your position within allowed boundaries.
