City A is located along the shore of an ocean. City B is at the same latitude and altitude, but it is located about 124 miles (200 km) inland, away from any large bodies of water. Which of the following statements most likely describe these two cities? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
In the summer, the daytime temperature in City A is typically lower than the daytime temperaturein City B.
B
In the winter, the daytime temperature in City B is typically lower than the daytime temperaturein City A.
C
City A typically has both higher high temperatures and lower low temperatures than City B.

Explanation

The ocean warms and cools more slowly than land, so it moderates temperatures in nearby City A. In summer, the ocean keeps City A’s daytime temperatures cooler than inland City B’s, making A correct. In winter, the ocean helps keep City A warmer, so City B’s daytime temperatures are typically lower, making B correct. City A is less likely to have both higher highs and lower lows than City B, so C is incorrect.
