Correct answer
- A1.ª y 2.ª.1st and 2nd.
Explanation
The low gears, first and second, have the highest gear reduction: they multiply the engine torque and give more force to the wheels, although at lower speed. That is why they are used to move off, climb steep hills or hold the vehicle back on descents.
