A great circle track would be most advantageous when compared to the rhumb line track on which route? (Use gnomonic tracking chart WOXZC 5274)

Correct Answer: Option B — Palm Beach, FL, to the English Channel

Great circle routes yield maximum distance savings on high-latitude, long-distance voyages crossing large ocean basins. Palm Beach to the English Channel spans a wide arc where the divergence between rhumb line and great circle courses is substantial, unlike near-equatorial runs.
