Read the text and answer the question!

If you are driving in the snow and need to stop, “pump the brakes.” This technique
allows you to stop your car on the iciest street. Depress the brake pedal firmly with a
single, then release the pressure immediately. Repeat until you come to a stop. (Don’t
use this technique if your car is equipped with anti lock brakes!) When turning on icy
streets, if your car starts to spin, steer into the turn. In other words, if your car’s near end
slides to the right, gently steer to the right. If it slides to the left, gently steer to the left.
Once the car has begun to straighten, steer straight ahead. When at a stop, use gentle
acceleration to move forward to avoid spinning the tires so rapidly that they fail to grip
the snow.

12. What should you do if your car’s rear end starts to slide to the right on an icy street?
A. Accelerate, then steer straigh ahead.
B. Gently steer to the right.
