Question

which peer passenger is negatively influencing driving?
○ oliver quickly buckles his seat belt.
○ lachlan tells the driver to hurry up.
○ jasmine helps the driver with directions.
○ zoe talks quietly with her friend in the backseat.

Explanation:

To determine which peer passenger negatively influences driving, we analyze each option:

• Oliver buckling his seat belt is a safe, positive action.
• Lachlan telling the driver to hurry up can pressure the driver, leading to risky driving (e.g., speeding, poor decision - making), so this is a negative influence.
• Jasmine helping with directions is a positive, helpful action.
• Zoe talking quietly in the backseat is a low - distraction, neutral/positive action.

Answer:

B. Lachlan tells the driver to hurry up.
