Question

question 29(multiple choice worth 3 points) (lesson 5.4 lc) a properly adjusted safety belt fits loosely across the body fits snugly across the hips and comfortably across the chest is worn behind the upper body is worn snugly across the hips and behind the upper body

Explanation:

To determine the correct option for a properly adjusted safety belt, we analyze each choice:

• "fits loosely across the body" is incorrect because a loose safety belt won't provide proper protection.
• "fits snugly across the hips and comfortably across the chest" is correct. A properly adjusted safety belt should fit snugly on the hips (to distribute force in a crash) and comfortably across the chest (to hold the upper body in place without being too tight).
• "is worn behind the upper body" is incorrect as wearing it behind the upper body defeats the purpose of the safety belt and reduces its effectiveness.
• "is worn snugly across the hips and behind the upper body" is incorrect for the same reason as the previous incorrect option—wearing it behind the upper body is unsafe.

Answer:

B. fits snugly across the hips and comfortably across the chest
