air is compressed inside the cylinder, and then the fuel is injected. This causes an (2)
explosion_ that moves the pistons. Diesel engines are common in trucks, buses, and (3)_
construction__ equipment because they provide high torque and durability.
Options:
b) explosion
c) construction
d) diesel

Paragraph 2
