Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #41052 Short Cyclists
Instructions ›
You will see a video about safety rules for street cyclists. Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Bicycle riders should follow certain safety rules. Cyclists should wear helmets to help prevent head injuries. They should obey all traffic signs and signals that motorists do and ride in the same direction as automobile traffic, staying as close to the edge of the road as possible. When in groups, cyclists should ride in single file. Cyclists can increase their safety by signalling before turning or stopping. In many countries standard hand signals are used. For a left turn, the left arm is held straight out. When turning right, cyclists should position the left hand up; an alternate right turn signal consists of extending the right arm straight out. For a stop, the left arm is extended slanting downward. In the United Kingdom, where motorists drive on the left side of the road, the cyclist stop signal is made with the right arm.

Option 3: "Extending the left arm slanting downward"

Explanation: This option is correct because the text clearly states that for a stop, the left arm should be extended slanting downward. This directly answers the question regarding the correct way for cyclists to signal a stop in many countries.

Option 1: "Extending the right arm straight out"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text specifies that extending the right arm straight out is used for signaling a right turn, not for stopping. Therefore, it does not relate to the correct way to signal a stop.

Option 2: "Holding the left arm straight out"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as well. The text indicates that holding the left arm straight out is the signal for a left turn, not for stopping. Thus, it does not answer the question about signaling a stop.

Option 4: "Making a signal with the right arm in the United Kingdom"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because it refers specifically to the United Kingdom's signaling method, which is not the general method for signaling a stop in many countries. The text indicates that the right arm is used for signaling a stop only in the context of the UK, making this option too narrow and not applicable to the broader question.
