Which hand signal extends both arms at a 45-degree angle above the horizontal plane to form the letter 'V' with the arms and torso?

• A. Wedge
• B. Vee
• C. Skirmisher
• D. Open up or extend hand signal

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing hand signals by the shape they create. Extending both arms at about a 45-degree angle above the horizon forms a V shape with your torso, which is why this signal is named the Vee hand signal. The Vee shape is distinctive and matches the description exactly, making it the best choice. A wedge involves a different, more triangular configuration, the skirmisher signal uses a dispersed, separate posture, and the open up or extend hand signal doesn’t form the characteristic V shape.
