Question

national highway transportation safety administration
in the case of a backover incident, the blind spot is the place behind your vehicle that you cannot see in the rear or side view mirrors - or even by craning your neck out the drivers side window. generally speaking, the larger the vehicle, the larger the blind spot.
blind spots for shorter drivers tend to be significantly larger as well. in addition, the elevation of the drivers seat, the shape of a vehicles windows and mirrors, and the slope of a driveway can affect the size of the blind spot behind a vehicle. in addition, the smaller stature of children can make them particularly difficult for a driver to see when backing up.
1.n.2.1.1 - based on the information in the passage, which combination is least likely to result in a backover accident?
a a full - size pick up truck and a three - year - old child
b a full - size sedan and a twenty - year - old man
c a full - size suv and a petite, elderly woman
d an armhean motorhome and a ten - year - old child

Explanation:

The passage states that larger vehicles have larger blind spots and smaller - statured individuals (like children) are harder to see. A full - size sedan is a relatively smaller vehicle compared to a full - size pick - up truck, full - size SUV, or an Australian motorhome. A twenty - year - old man is taller and thus more likely to be seen than a child or a petite, elderly woman.

Answer:

B. a full - size sedan and a twenty - year - old man
