which of the following is a step you can take to mitigate the risk of buying a used car? have a mechanic inspect the car after you buy it get a vehicle history report buy a more expensive vehicle to ensure quality skip the test drive; you have time after you buy it to drive

Explanation:

To mitigate the risk of buying a used car, getting a vehicle history report (second option) or having a mechanic inspect the car (first option) are valid steps. Buying a more expensive vehicle doesn't ensure quality (third is wrong), and skipping the test drive is risky (fourth is wrong). Among the valid ones, "Get a vehicle history report" is a key step as it reveals past accidents, repairs, etc. Also, "Have a mechanic inspect the car after you buy it" is post - purchase, while getting the history report is pre - purchase and crucial. But if we consider the options, "Get a vehicle history report" is a standard step. Wait, the first option: "Have a mechanic inspect the car after you buy it" – but inspection before buying is better. Wait, the options are:

1. Have a mechanic inspect the car after you buy it
2. Get a vehicle history report
3. Buy a more expensive vehicle to ensure quality
4. Skip the test drive; you have time after you buy it to drive

So the correct steps are 1 and 2. But if we have to choose one, "Get a vehicle history report" is a common and important step to know the car's past.

Answer:

1. Get a vehicle history report
