Question 1 Report

Answer the following question below and choose the option that best completes the gap(s)\:

The driver was short of petrol, so he _______down the hills with the engine switched off.

Answer Details
The best option to fill in the gap is "coasted." "Coasting" means to travel without using power, such as the engine of a car. In this sentence, the driver was trying to save petrol, so he chose to coast down the hills with the engine switched off. The other options "glided," "wheeled," and "taxied" do not have the same meaning as "coasting" and do not fit the context of the sentence.
