When parking on a hill facing uphill, you should turn your wheels:

To the right
In the direction of the curb
Away from the curb
To the left

The correct answer is: Away from the curb

When parking on a hill facing uphill, you should turn your wheels away from the curb. This is to prevent your car from rolling towards the curb in case the brakes fail. Turning your wheels to the right, left, or towards the curb would result in the car rolling down the hill if the brakes fail. By turning the wheels away from the curb, the car would roll away from the curb and hopefully come to a stop without causing any damage.
