What distinguishes third degree forgery?

  1. Altering a governmental memo

  2. Making or altering any other type of document

  3. Forging bank-related documents

  4. Making or altering a government document

The correct answer is: Making or altering any other type of document

Third-degree forgery is characterized by the making or altering of any type of document, which could potentially be used to deceive or defraud. This broad definition encompasses a wide range of documents beyond just governmental or bank-related ones. The key aspect of third-degree forgery is its general applicability to various kinds of documents. This can include personal documents, business contracts, or identification papers, as long as the intent is to alter or create a document with the purpose of fraud. In contrast, the other choices focus on specific types of documents, such as governmental memos or bank-related documents, which may relate to different degrees of forgery or specific legal ramifications under various statutes. Therefore, the inclusive nature of the ability to alter any document distinguishes third-degree forgery from more narrow definitions associated with other types of forgery.
