Which one of the following is an example of a difficulty caused by thermal expansion?
O A. The siding on a house buckles on a hot day.
OB. Watery iced tea
OC. Smog in the air during summer heat
OD. lce cream not getting hard

A. The siding on a house buckles on a hot day

Explanation:

The key word in this question is EXPANSION. Without even knowing the siding expands causing it to buckle when it's hot, you can use process of elimination. It can't be answer B because watered down iced tea would most likely be as a result of the ice melting which is the opposite of expanding. It can't be C because air is not solidified and therefore can't expand. Lastly, D cannot be it because ice cream expands when cold, causing it to become hard. If it's not hardening then it's not expanding. This is also the correct answer on a p e.x
