Aggravated burglary charge can be supported by possession of which item?

• A. An explosive
• B. A passport
• C. A newspaper
• D. A key ring

Answer: (A)

Aggravated burglary is charged when a weapon or similarly dangerous item is present during the burglary. An explosive fits this role because it is a device capable of causing serious harm, so possessing one at the time of the offence satisfies the aggravating element. The other items don’t meet the weapon criterion: a passport is just a document, a newspaper is an ordinary item, and a key ring isn’t itself an offensive weapon under the usual legal definitions.
