Question:
A top-heavy load is dangerous because it can cause
1. a rollover on a curve.
2. a rollover if you swerve around a hazard.
3. damage to the axles or steering.
4. all of the above.
Answer: all of the above.
Explanation
A top-heavy load raises your vehicle's center of gravity so that you're much more likely to roll over on a curve or if you swerve to avoid a hazard. A top-heavy load is also an unbalanced load, which can damage certain parts of your vehicle, such as the axles.
