Question:

Which of the following is NOT part of the braking process when driving a tractor-trailer combination vehicle with ABS?

Answer: You should drive more quickly so that you will be able to keep the trailer and tractor straight.

Explanation
When driving a tractor-trailer combination that has ABS, the key is to drive the same way that you have always driven safely. Do not drive any differently because of the ABS. Only use the braking necessary to keep control, pay attention when you slow down, and brake the same regardless of what you're driving. Never speed up, unless it is already part of the safe driving process.
