To accurately interpret the expression provided by the meteorologist, we need to analyze the description of the changes in temperature. However, since the expression itself is not included in your question, we can deduce the correct answer by examining the options:
- **A** states that the temperature started at 78°F, increased by 6°F, then decreased by 5°F.
- **B** states that the temperature started at 78°F, increased by 6°F, then increased again by 5°F.
- **C** states that the temperature started at 78°F, decreased by 6°F, then decreased again by 5°F.
- **D** states that the temperature started at 78°F, decreased by 6°F, then increased by 5°F.
If the expression represents an increase followed by a decrease (like 78 + 6 - 5) or a decrease followed by an increase (like 78 - 6 + 5), you can determine the accurate option based on that pattern.
1. **If the expression is of the form (78 + 6 - 5):** then option **A** is correct.
2. **If the expression is of the form (78 - 6 + 5):** then option **D** is correct.
Without knowing the exact expression, I can't definitively tell you which option is correct, but I hope this breakdown helps you analyze it based on the operations present in the expression you have. Please provide the expression itself if you would like a more precise analysis!
