Analyze the question

Evaluate standard driving rules

Standard driver's education manuals state specific speed reductions for different hazardous weather conditions:

• On a wet road, you should reduce your speed by about one-third.
• On packed snow, you should reduce your speed by half.
• On ice, you should slow down to a crawl.

Match with options

The options provided are:

• a. to a crawl.
• b. by 10 miles per hour.
• c. by one third.
• d. by half.
