Correct answer
- BDetenernos para facilitar el paso a la ambulancia.Stop to let the ambulance through.
The correct answer is to stop to let the ambulance through because, even if the light is green, priority vehicles on an emergency call have priority and it is our responsibility to give way to them so that they can reach their destination quickly.
