a. Ships prefer to sail along the ocean currents.
=The correct options are
A They help ships conserve fuel.
C They help ships speed up.
Ocean currents help ships sailing along the currents to speed up. They also help the ships in conserving fuel.
b. Newfoundland has a thick fog all year round.
=Because two ocean currents meet- the cold Labrador Current and the warm Gulf Stream. The associated airmasses mix- warm air from Gulf Stream is warm and moist, Labrador cold, so the moisture in the warm air cools and condenses.
