What should you do before a long journey?

  1. Check oil level

  2. Ensure you have enough passengers

  3. Plan your rest stops only

  4. Listen to loud music to stay awake

The correct answer is: Check oil level

Before a long journey, it is important to check the oil level in your car. This is because it ensures that your car has enough oil to keep the engine running smoothly during a long trip. Checking the oil level also allows you to identify any potential issues or leaks that could lead to car trouble on the road. Ensuring you have enough passengers (option B) and planning your rest stops only (option C) may contribute to a comfortable journey, but they do not directly address the safety and maintenance of your vehicle. Listening to loud music to stay awake (option D) can be distracting while driving and may even increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, option A is the most practical and essential step to take before embarking on a long journey.
