The combination of which two things will greatly reduce the likelihood of a rollover?
Answer: A
Loading cargo as low as possible and slowing down for turns.
Loading the cargo as low as possible to reduce the center of gravity combined with slowing down for turns will greatly reduce the likelihood of a rollover.
All choices
- ALoading cargo as low as possible and slowing down for turns.
- BLoading cargo on the axles and traveling slowly.
- CLoading cargo with a high center of gravity and slowing down for turns.
Why the other answers are wrong
B. Loading cargo on the axles and traveling slowly.
Choice B is wrong because loading cargo on the axles alone does not address center of gravity, which is critical to preventing rollovers.
C. Loading cargo with a high center of gravity and slowing down for turns.
Choice C is wrong because loading cargo with a high center of gravity increases rollover risk, even if slowing down for turns.
