Đáp án D

Thông tin: If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing.

Dịch nghĩa: Nếu có khói trong khoang ngồi, bạn nên cúi đầu thấp và phủ mặt bằng khăn giấy, khăn tắm, hoặc quần áo.

Có khói trong khoang ngồi chính là khi có hỏa hoạn trên máy bay. Do đó, phương án D. keep their heads low = giữ đầu cúi thấp; là phương án chính xác nhất.

          B. don't smoke in or near a plane = không hút thuốc trong hoặc gần một chiếc máy bay.

          C. read airline safety statistics = đọc các thống kê an toàn hàng không.
