I’m a bit confused; I thought avoiding the interview could be seen as suspicious, but I’m not sure if that’s the best approach here.

I feel like I read somewhere that making the witness feel pressured could backfire, so maybe option B is better?

I practiced a question like this where the right response was to find a more convenient time for the witness. I think that might be option D.

I think I remember that stressing the importance of the interview is key, but I'm not sure if that means I should just say it will be short or something else.

This is a tricky one. I'd probably go with option D and try to find a more convenient time. Pushing too hard could backfire, and we want the witness to feel comfortable and willing to cooperate. Building trust is key in these situations.

I think option B is the way to go here. Stressing that the interview will be short and trying to accommodate the witness's schedule seems like the most diplomatic approach. We want to get the information we need, but also maintain a good relationship.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The witness is being evasive, so I'm not sure if option A or C would be the best approach. I'd want to avoid being too confrontational, but also make it clear that their participation is important.

This looks like a tricky NFS question. I'll need to think carefully about the mount options and how they handle server availability.

Option A sounds a bit heavy-handed. We want the witness to feel comfortable, not coerced.

Definitely D. Pushing too hard or threatening the witness is only going to make them more resistant. Building trust is key.
