Correct answer

  • CPondremos la relación de marchas más larga posible acelerando con suavidad.We will engage the highest possible gear and accelerate gently.
Explanation

If our vehicle is stuck on ice, to get out we must make the vehicle transmit its power as smoothly as possible so that the wheels do not spin again. That is why we will use the highest possible gear and accelerate very gently.
