El Azizia, Libya
a.
The temperature at night is cold.
b.
This place gets very little rain each year.
c.
The temperature can rise to more than 100º F.
d.
all of the above



Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A
B
C
D

Answer 1

The best answer is D (all of the above).

Here's the reasoning:

• A place with palm trees and sand dunes typically indicates a desert or arid environment, suggesting that the temperature at night could be cold (especially when moisture is low).
• Such environments often receive very little rain each year, reinforcing the idea that it is a dry climate.
• Temperatures can indeed rise to more than 100º F in desert regions, making option C also likely true.

Therefore, all statements (a, b, and c) are plausible conclusions based on the description provided.
