Explanation:

1. Wind 1 (Arctic Circle): Polar easterlies blow from the poles (high pressure) toward lower latitudes, deflected left in the Southern Hemisphere and right in the Northern Hemisphere. This arrow's direction matches the Northern Hemisphere polar easterlies.
2. Wind 2 (Northern Hemisphere, mid-latitudes): Westerlies blow from west to east in the mid-latitudes (between 30° and 60°) in both hemispheres, deflected by Coriolis. This arrow correctly shows eastward-moving westerlies.
3. Wind 3 (Northern Hemisphere, near Equator): Trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere blow from the northeast toward the Equator. This arrow points southwest, which is incorrect.
4. Wind 4 (Southern Hemisphere, mid-latitudes): Westerlies in the Southern Hemisphere blow from west to east. This arrow points eastward, matching the correct direction.
5. Wind 5 (Antarctic Circle): Polar easterlies in the Southern Hemisphere blow from the pole toward lower latitudes, deflected left, so they move from southeast to northwest. This arrow points toward the pole, which is incorrect.

Answer:

1. The wind direction in box 1 (Arctic Circle)
2. The wind direction in box 2 (Northern mid-latitudes)
3. The wind direction in box 4 (Southern mid-latitudes)
