When carrying cargo, it is important to
- secure it just to the sides of the motorcycle.
- keep the load low. ✓
- weigh it before loading it on the motorcycle.
- not carry any passengers.
Answer: B. keep the load low.
When carrying cargo on a motorcycle, keep the load low.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says to keep the load low and warns against piling loads against the frame behind the seat. Doing that changes the centre of gravity and disturbs the motorcycle's balance. The same passage also says to keep the load forward, distribute it evenly, and secure it, so the low position is the specific cargo guideline that matches the correct choice.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. secure it just to the sides of the motorcycle. — Securing cargo only at the sides is not the handbook's guideline; it calls for the load to be low, forward, evenly distributed and secure.
- C. weigh it before loading it on the motorcycle. — The handbook does not tell riders to weigh cargo before loading it; it gives placement and securing guidelines instead.
- D. not carry any passengers. — The passage is about carrying cargo, not about whether passengers may be carried, so avoiding passengers is not the rule given here.
Remember it
Think low, forward, even and tight: that is how the handbook wants cargo placed and secured.
