Pick an answer

Correct!

Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 49 (Doubles/Triples): It secures the jaws of the fifth wheel around the trailer's kingpin so the coupling can't release on its own

Why

The locking lever is what closes and holds the fifth wheel's jaws around the kingpin, and without it fully engaged the trailer could separate from the dolly while underway.
