Question

1. rain is pouring down as jacob drives home from work in his pickup truck. the low section of road ahead is covered in moving water. what is the best action for jacob to take?

keep driving, he should be fine in a truck
call 911 and report that the road is flooded
turn around and find another route
park his truck and cross the water on foot

Explanation:

When encountering a flooded road, driving through it (even in a truck) is dangerous as water can stall the vehicle or cause it to be swept away. Crossing on foot is also hazardous due to strong currents and hidden debris. While reporting the flood (calling 911) is a good step, the immediate priority for personal safety is to avoid the flooded area. Turning around and finding another route directly addresses the safety concern by getting Jacob out of the potentially dangerous situation.

Answer:

Turn around and find another route.
