On monday, the temperature was 6 degrees cooler than it had been on sunday, on tuesday the temperature rose 4 degrees from monday. wednesday's temperature was cooler than tuesday's, but not as cool as it was on monday. which answer choice shows a reasonable answer for the difference in temperature on wednesday, as compared to the temperature on sunday? a) -10 degrees b) -7 degrees c) -4 degrees d) -2 degrees

C) -4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the temperature on sunday,

Then, according to the question,

The temperature on monday = x - 6,

On Tuesday = (x-6) + 4 = x - 2,

Now, Wednesday's temperature was cooler than Tuesday's, but not as cool as it was on Monday,

That is,  x - 6 < temperature on wednesday < x - 2

⇒ x- 6 - x < temperature on wednesday - x < x - 2 - x

⇒-6 < temperature on wednesday - temperature on sunday < -2

Since, -6 < -4 < -2

Hence, the possible difference between the temperature on Wednesday, as compared to the temperature on Sunday would be -4.

Option 'C' is correct.
