Answer 1

To find out how much the temperature needs to change to return to the original temperature of 68°F from 82°F, we can calculate the difference:

Current temperature: 82°F
Original temperature: 68°F

The difference is: 82°F - 68°F = 14°F

Since the temperature needs to decrease to return to 68°F, the correct response is:

A. Fall 14°F
