💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of weather is usually found under a strong, stationary high‑pressure system at sea. • Consider which option describes wind conditions that would slow or stop old sailing ships for long periods. • Look at which choices describe features (vegetation, clouds, winds) that are actually unlikely in dry, sinking‑air regions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Does the option match light or strong winds typically found in high‑pressure belts? • Is the described cloud type and amount consistent with sinking, dry air? • Does the choice describe something that would historically cause sailing ships to be becalmed near 30° latitude?
