Which action does the manual list for going through a work zone carefully?
-
A.
Sound the horn as you pass workers.
-
B.
Allow extra space between vehicles. Correct
-
C.
Turn on your high-beam headlights.
The answer is "Allow extra space between vehicles."
The manual lists allowing extra space between vehicles among the actions for going through a work zone carefully. The high-beam answer comes from the night-driving chapter on open country roads, and drivers who blend general road-safety rules with the specific work-zone list reach for it in this slot.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Sound the horn as you pass workers.
The manual's work-zone list does not include using the horn to alert workers on foot. This answer applies a courtesy-horn habit some drivers use around cyclists or blind alleys, which does not appear in the manual's work-zone list.
C. Turn on your high-beam headlights.
High-beam use belongs to the night-driving chapter, not the list of work-zone behaviors. This answer carries an open-road night-driving rule into this list, on the reflex that any tighter driving condition should call for brighter lights.
