(A) Secret lingering
(B) Vandalism
(C) Surreptitious remaining
(D) Criminal mischief

Answer (2)

The actus reus of burglary includes behaviors beyond unlawful entry, specifically allowing for surreptitious remaining, which is the act of staying on a property without permission. The Model Penal Code recognizes this as part of burglary. Other options like secret lingering, vandalism, and criminal mischief do not fit within this legal framework. ;

The actus reus of burglary includes not only unlawful entry but also behaviors like surreptitious remaining, which refers to staying on a property without permission. This is recognized by the Model Penal Code and expands the traditional view of burglary. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Surreptitious remaining.
