• A. by slower vehicles.
• B. for passing slower vehicles.
• C. by heavy trucks.
• D. for stopping in an emergency.

Answer: (B)

The leftmost lane on a multi-lane highway is the passing lane. It’s intended for overtaking slower vehicles. If you’re moving faster than the vehicle ahead, use that lane to pass, then return to the right lanes once you’ve finished. This keeps traffic flowing smoothly and reduces weaving. Slower traffic belongs in the right lanes to let faster drivers pass, and the left lane isn’t for cruising or stopping except in an emergency where you should pull onto the shoulder.
