Final answer:

The subject of this question is Automotive Technology and the question is about distributor advances.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Automotive Technology.

Automotive distributors have two main types of advances: mechanical advance and vacuum advance.

  • The mechanical advance controls spark advance in relation to engine speed, not engine load.
  • The vacuum advance controls spark advance in relation to engine load, not engine speed.

The remaining two statements about distributor advances are true. The mechanical advance rotates the reluctor in the same direction as the shaft rotation, while the vacuum advance rotates the pickup plate in the same direction as the shaft rotation.
