Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find today's high - temp

From the red line (today), the highest temperature is around 75°F.

Step2: Find yesterday's average temp

There is no data to calculate yesterday's average temp from the graph. So, option A is incorrect.

Step3: Calculate temperature ranges

Yesterday's range: highest is about 100°F, lowest is about 60°F, range is 100 - 60=40°F. Today's range: highest is about 75°F, lowest is about 55°F, range is 75 - 55 = 20°F. The difference in ranges is 40 - 20=20°F. So, option B is correct.

Step4: Check for record

There is no information about previous temperatures to determine if yesterday's high set a record. So, option C is incorrect.

Answer:

B. The temperature range today was about 20° less than the temperature range yesterday.
