Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taking the medicine is the hazard as it caused Billy to fall asleep at the wheel and collide with another car, resulting in an injury. The other options, such as spring break and knowing how to drive, are not hazards in themselves. The broken leg is a consequence of the accident, not the hazard itself.
