Answer: The right answer is when jump-starting a car, always remember “Positive to positive, negative to ground.”

Here’s an explanation:

  1. Positive to positive: Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery. This is usually marked with a plus sign (+) and is often red.
  2. Negative to ground: Connect the negative (-) cable to an unpainted metal surface on the car with the dead battery. This serves as a grounding point and helps prevent sparks near the battery.
