Which typical vertical velocity accompanies large-scale ascent in mid-latitudes?
Answer: D
Synoptic vertical motion is of order 1 centimetre per second, three orders of magnitude smaller than the horizontal wind, which is precisely why it cannot be measured directly and must be inferred. Over a day that is enough to lift air about a kilometre, which is more than sufficient to produce widespread cloud and rain. Convective updraughts belong to a different scale entirely.
