Which gear is appropriate to start driving a passenger car on a dry surface?
aSecond.
bFirst.
cThe one in which the driving stopped.
Why?
On a dry road, move off in first gear in a car with a manual gearbox. Its gear ratio makes pulling away easier and reduces the risk of stalling. Moving off in second requires more clutch slip, and the gear used before stopping does not determine which gear to use when pulling away again.
