• D. the temperature on Tuesday and Wednesday was $-7^{\circ }C$ and $3^{\circ }C$ respectively.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

the temperature on Tuesday and Wednesday was $-7^{\circ }C$ and $-3^{\circ }C$ respectively.

Temperature on Monday =$-5^{\circ }C$

Temperature on Tuesday = Temperature on Monday $-2^{\circ }C$

$=-5^{\circ }C-2^{\circ }C=-7^{\circ }C$

Temperature on Wednesday = Temperature on Tuesday $+4^{\circ }C$

$=-7^{\circ }C+4^{\circ }C=-3^{\circ }C$

Therefore, the temperature on Tuesday and Wednesday was $-7^{\circ }C$ and $-3^{\circ }C$ respectively.
