Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Frequently and briefly, so you do not neglect what is happening ahead.
Check your rearview mirror often so you always know who is coming up behind you, but keep your glances short. If you keep staring at it, you neglect what's happening ahead. If you don't check it often enough, you won't know what's happening behind you when you need to maneuver or brake.
