What is the meaning of the signal VJ 8 when sent by the International Code of Signals?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A gale is expected from the north.
The International Code of Signals is a standardized system of communications used at sea, and the signal VJ 8 specifically indicates that a gale is expected from the north. This aligns with the correct answer, as a gale is a strong wind of force 8 on the Beaufort scale.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the VJ 8 signal. Option A refers to wind force only, without specifying the direction. Option B is unrelated to weather signals. Option C describes cloud cover, which is not the intended meaning of the VJ 8 signal.
