Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 94 (Doubles/Triples): It typically slows acceleration further due to the added weight and rolling resistance
Why
Adding more trailers increases the total weight and rolling resistance the tractor must overcome, generally making acceleration slower than with a single trailer of similar total load.
