What is the use of virtual base class in multilevel inheritance?

This was an exam question.

Write a program demonstrating the use of virtual base classes in multilevel inheritance.

I cannot think of any scenario in which a virtual base class would actually make any difference in the specific case of multilevel inheritance.

The only possible answer to the question i can think of is to show hybrid inheritance(the diamond) which contains multilevel inheritance in it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
