In responding to a fire, a security guard must first

  1. Know how to confine a fire

  2. Know how to alert occupants to a fire

  3. Know the signs to a fire

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The correct answer is "All of the above". This is because, in case of a fire, a security guard plays several essential roles. He or she should know how to identify a fire (know the signs to a fire), understand how to contain it (know how to confine a fire), and have the skills to effectively communicate with and alert the building's occupants or anyone else in the vicinity (know how to alert occupants to a fire). Therefore, all of these points are critical and not mutually exclusive, hence why the comprehensive option "All of the above" is the most appropriate answer.
