Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 35 (Tank Vehicles): A thicker liquid tends to move more slowly, so its surge builds and settles less abruptly than a thin liquid's
Why
A thicker liquid resists flowing quickly, so its surge tends to build up and die down more gradually than a thin, fast-moving liquid like water or fuel.
