Đáp án D

Giải thích: Tất cả các phương án khác đều được tác giả khuyên làm trong bài, chỉ có phương án D. carry personal belongings in an emergency là không được khuyến khích.

          A. locate the nearest exit = định vị lối ra gần nhất.

“Before take-off you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit”. = Trước khi cất cánh, bạn nên xác định vị trí lối ra gần nhất và một lối ra dự phòng.

          B. ask questions about safety = hỏi các câu hỏi về an toàn.         

“Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before take-off and ask questions if you have uncertainties.” = Các chuyên gia nói rằng bạn nên đọc và nghe hướng dẫn an toàn trước khi cất cánh và đặt câu hỏi nếu bạn còn chưa chắc chắn.

          C. fasten their seat belts before takeoff = thắt chặt dây đeo an toàn trước khi cất cánh

“You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as tightly as possible”. = Bạn nên thắt chặt dây đeo an toàn thấp trên hông và càng chặt càng tốt.

          D. carry personal belongings in an emergency = mang theo tài sản cá nhân trong trường hợp khẩn cấp.

“To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you” = để sơ tán nhanh nhất có thể, làm theo những mệnh lệnh của phi hành đoàn và đừng mang theo tài sản cá nhân với bạn.
