171. Which current would you encounter on a direct passage from London, England, to Cape Town, South Africa?

The Benguela Current is the correct answer as it flows along the southwest coast of Africa, directly on the Atlantic approach to Cape Town from Europe, aligning with a London-Cape Town passage route. The Norway Current is far north, the Brazil Current flows southward along South America's east coast, and the Falkland Current is near Patagonia, none of which are encountered on a direct route.
