• B. $-6^o$
• C. $-8^o$
• D. $-{11}^o$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $-6^o$

On Monday, temperature was $-{15}^o$ As it dropped by $2^o$ on Tuesday.
So, the temperature on Tuesday = $-{15}^o$ + ($-2^o$) = $-{17}^o$.
On Wednesday, it rose by ${11}^o$.
So, the temperature on Wednesday = $-{17}^o$ + ${11}^o$ = $-6^o$.
