The first thing you do in case of engine failure is turn downwind. Your landing field will then be abeam on the left. The second thing you do is check the fuel (carb. heat / switch tanks etc.) because it's almost always fuel starvation. The last thing you do is everything else.
Interesting in the first question you never commented on answers C, because in reality that is what most pilots will do, with aircraft flying lower than you, in the circuit, it’s very difficult to see other traffic. Most pilots will listen intensely to the position of other traffic on the RT.
I gave up after 5 minutes: The question "If conducting an overhead join and you can't identify all the circuit traffic what should you do?" should be "If conducting an overhead join and you can't identify all the circuit traffic that you are certain are in the circuit after monitoring the radio what should you do?". Do 'C'. Because overhead joins were based on non-radio traffic and you will never be certain that you have identified all traffic.

I know you meant that as the second or later thing to do, the first thing is glide speed.
@@hometooflyer2418 Turn and climb then. You can do both at the same time. 😁
