Correct answer

  • AEs más difícil que se bloquee la rueda trasera.The rear wheel is less likely to lock.
Explanation

Because the passenger's weight rests mainly on the rear wheel, this wheel presses harder on the road, which delays the moment when it locks under braking, so more pressure on the rear brake pedal will be needed.
