  2. In dry weather, larger vehicles (vans, sport utility vehicles) are more likely to skid than roll
  3. A. and B.
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - The statement “in wet weather passenger cars are more likely to skid rather than roll” is generally assumed to be true. The statement “in dry weather, larger vehicles are more likely to skid than roll” is generally not assumed to be true. Because of the higher center of gravity present in larger vehicles, they are more likely to roll over than skid, especially in dry weather.
