Question 1204Navigation General
70% to passIf the sky was clear, with the exception of a few cumulus clouds, it would indicate _______________.
A
hurricane weather
B
rain
C
fog setting in
D
fair weather
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) fair weather. The presence of a few cumulus clouds in an otherwise clear sky is generally indicative of fair, stable weather conditions. Cumulus clouds are low-lying, puffy clouds that form when warm air rises and cools, but they are not typically associated with severe or inclement weather. In contrast, the other answer choices would suggest more adverse weather conditions, such as a hurricane (A), rain (B), or the onset of fog (C), which are not accurately reflected by the given weather description.
