When driving uphill in mountain areas, drivers should use:
  1. High gears
  2. Low gears
  3. Mid-range gears
  4. Posi-traction gears
Explanation
Answer: B - Driving uphill in mountains can be tricky and drivers should use the lower gears while doing so. The steeper or longer the grade, the harder it will be for your vehicle to make it up the slope. Heavier loads will also cause the vehicle to slow. For these reasons, drivers should always use the lower gears to climb hills or mountain slopes.
