select a letter to choose your answer.
a shift into gear and shut off the engine; then take your foot off the brake pedal and set the parking brake.
b set the parking brake first, before you shift into gear and shut off the engine.
c shut off the engine first, and then shift into gear. leave the parking brake off.

Explanation:

To park a manual - transmission vehicle on a hill, the correct procedure is to first set the parking brake. This is because the parking brake holds the vehicle in place. After setting the parking brake, you can then shift into gear (usually first gear or reverse, depending on the direction of the hill) and shut off the engine. Option A has the wrong order as taking the foot off the brake before setting the parking brake can cause the vehicle to roll. Option C is incorrect as leaving the parking brake off and shutting off the engine first would allow the vehicle to roll. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Set the parking brake first, before you shift into gear and shut off the engine.
