Answer

Answer:

  1. A. true
  2. B. false
  3. B. false
  4. A. true

Explanation:

Step1: Road - surface impact

The friction between the car's tires and the road surface affects acceleration. A rough or slippery road can change the traction and thus the acceleration, so statement 1 is true.

Step2: Fuel - consumption in acceleration

Quick acceleration requires more power from the engine, which burns more fuel. So accelerating quickly does not save fuel, making statement 2 false.

Step3: Accelerator - pedal control

For best control while accelerating, you should use the ball of your foot on the accelerator pedal, not the heel. So statement 3 is false.

Step4: Speedometer - glance safety

Taking a quick glance at the speedometer while driving is a common and safe practice to monitor speed, so statement 4 is true.
