Answer "B" is correct! Typical ocean currents follow a clockwise pattern in the northern Hemishphere BUT rotate CounterClockwise in the SOUTHERN Hemisphere! Good luck with your Penn Foster studies! Some courses offered by Penn foster are ok, But I've found out instructional help in Financial Accounting for instance is nearly poor! I recommend you transfer to a local community college if at all possible since classroom instruction has numerous advantages and you have the ability to form study groups to help you over the tough spots! However, I feel the need to jump in here on the cheating issue. I happen to be a Penn Foster enrollee and I can't tell you how unhappy I am with this school! Students tend to cheat when they realize, often too late they chose the wrong school and the teaching and student help staff has a rather spare tire that happens to be flat attitude! Often students looking for answers are not cheating, they are looking to work the problems in reverse because of such poor instructional help! I find myself in this category since I paid good money for this and I can honestly say for the most part, it has been wasted!! My Advice to those looking to go back to school? Do NOT go Penn Foster!! Find a school that offers financial aid and has real classrooms where you can form study groups when necessary! Cheating happens most often when your school choice is also your biggest mistake!
