What are key steps in a ground run-up sequence?

Ground run-up focuses on proving engine performance and instrument readings at a controlled high-power condition while keeping the area safe. The best choice covers securing the area for safety, powering the engines to the required RPM, and monitoring the critical indicators—N1/N2 spool speeds, EGT, fuel flow, and oil pressure—while checking for any abnormalities. This sequence ensures the engines respond correctly and that readings stay within limits before flight. The other options describe tasks that occur before or after the run-up (preflight exterior checks and door closure, safe taxi at idle with cabin considerations, or repositioning to a gate), not the run-up procedure itself.
