Correct choices:
- City A must be in a region of the U.S. that has a variety of weather patterns during the year since the range of monthly temperatures is much larger than City B.
- City B must be in a region of the U.S. with little temperature change from month to month since the range of monthly temperatures is very small.

Reason: City A's temperatures span a wide range (32–83°F) indicating large seasonal variation, while City B's temperatures are tightly clustered (81–88°F) indicating little month-to-month change.
