Which of the following is not a strategy for dealing with a crowd?

  1. Remove the leader

  2. Break the crowd into smaller groups

  3. Find a sympathetic leader

  4. Encourage louder chanting

The correct answer is: Encourage louder chanting

Encouraging louder chanting is not a strategy for dealing with a crowd because it can actually escalate the situation and make the crowd more loud and out of control. The other choices, removing the leader, breaking the crowd into smaller groups, and finding a sympathetic leader, all involve diffusing the energy and reducing the size and power of the crowd. Therefore, these are effective strategies for dealing with a crowd.
