Correct answer

  • CAdopte la misma posición e inclinación que el conductor.Take the same position and lean as the rider.
Explanation

The correct answer is “Take the same position and lean as the rider”, because by doing this the passenger helps keep the motorcycle balanced through the bend. By leaning in the same direction as the rider, the weight is distributed properly and centrifugal force is counteracted, which gives more stability and safety on the bend.
