2. ten years
3. one year
4. 30,000 miles

Answer 1

The answer is 1, it is both

Answer 2

1. 30,000 miles or three years

Step-by-step explanation:

A car warranty is usually express by manufacturers in terms of a maximum amount of mileage or a number of years during which the car is protected by possible defects and it is covered until one of these two conditions is reached. According to this and considering that the excerpt says that the Zoom car is guaranteed to be free of defects for 30,000 miles or three years, the time period for this warranty is 30,000 miles or three years.
