Among the options listed, "temperature" is the one that may call for negative numbers.
Here's a brief rationale for each:
-
Lengths of time: This typically involves positive numbers, as lengths of time don't go below zero.
-
Street addresses: These are usually non-negative integers since they represent specific locations and cannot be negative.
-
Page numbers of a book: These are also non-negative integers; you cannot have a negative page number.
-
Temperature: This can be negative, especially in scales such as Celsius and Fahrenheit (e.g., -10°C).
-
Measurements: This typically involves positive values, depending on the context (e.g., length, weight).
So, the correct answer is temperature.
