Matthew records the temperature outside for one day. From 10:00 a. m. to 12:00 p. m., the temperature rises 4°C. From 12:00 p. m. to 2:00 p. m., it rises another 3°C. From 2:00 p. m. to 4:00
p. m., it drops 2°C. Which of the following predictions about how the temperature will change
between 4:00 p. m. and 6:00 pm. is most reasonable?
The temperature will rise 3°C.
The temperature will drop 14°C.
o the temperature will stay the same
The temperature will drop 4°C.

The temperature will drop 4°C.

Explanation:

Note that this question is describing temperature change in response to the time of the day. Ideally, mornings to afternoons are usually hotter while evenings are colder.

According to this question, the temperature rises by 4°C from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. it also rises another 3°C from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m but starts dropping by 2°C from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. This shows that between the hours of 10:00am - 2:00pm, the temperature increases as a result of the heat from sun. However, towards the evening period, the temperature reduces because the sun is getting shadowed by the moon.

Hence, based on this analogy, the most reasonable prediction about how the temperature will change from. 4:00am to 6:00am is that The temperature will drop 4°C.

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.
