|

|
|
|
Left, right, and left again.

Explanation
The correct answer is to look left, then right, and then left again before entering an intersection. Initially looking left allows you to check for vehicles approaching from your left side, which is typically the direction of oncoming traffic. Then, checking right ensures awareness of vehicles approaching from the opposite direction or from side streets. Finally, looking left again ensures there are no additional hazards before proceeding into the intersection.
