An office sets its thermostat (the electronic climate control) to automatically adjust according to the time of day. At 7:00 a.m., it is set for a comfortable 65 degrees for when workers are present. At 7:00 p.m., the setting changes to 80 degrees in order to save some energy overnight. Describe the cycle of the air temperature in the office.(1 point)

At 7:00 a.m., the temperature begins gradually rising from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature begins gradually dropping from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.
At 7:00 a.m., the temperature begins gradually rising from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature begins gradually dropping from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.

At 7:00 a.m., the temperature begins gradually dropping from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature begins gradually rising from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.
At 7:00 a.m., the temperature begins gradually dropping from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature begins gradually rising from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.

At 7:00 a.m., the temperature immediately drops from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature immediately rises from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.
At 7:00 a.m., the temperature immediately drops from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature immediately rises from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.

At 7:00 a.m., the temperature immediately rises from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature immediately drops from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct description of the cycle of the air temperature in the office is:

At 7:00 a.m., the temperature begins gradually rising from 65 degrees to 80 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 p.m. Then, the temperature begins gradually dropping from 80 degrees to 65 degrees, where it stays until 7:00 a.m. the following day.

This choice accurately reflects the thermostat's behavior of changing the temperature settings at the specified times.
