🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences between instruments that measure moisture versus those that show direction • Common weather instruments used on small vessels and at shore stations • The typical shape and mounting location of a device that shows where the wind is coming from

💭 Think About

• First, separate the choices into those that deal with water or humidity and those that deal with air movement or direction • Think about what you usually see on top of buildings, masts, or church steeples to show which way the wind is blowing • Ask yourself: which instrument actually points into the wind rather than collecting or measuring liquid?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically associated with wind direction, not speed or moisture • Eliminate any instruments that are known for measuring humidity or the amount of water in air or liquids • Make sure the remaining choice is something typically mounted high and exposed to the wind
