A city had a temperature $4^{\circ }$C during the day, but at night the temperature was recorded $-5^{\circ }$C. Which of the following is true?

• A. The city was hotter during the day than at night.
• B. The city was cooler during the day than at night.
• C. The city was as hot during the day as it was at night.

Answer 1
