Answer 1

The answer that you are looking for is (D). Dry. This should be the right answer since I just took the test and got the question right. So I am 100% sure it is correct if you are taking a Penn Foster exam. If you are taking a different test, then it may not be correct.

Answer 2

The entire region of Northern Africa and Southwest Asia has a climate that is generally described as dry.

Although, they are hot but the correct response would be dry. The Northern African and Southwest Asian climates are what is known as "Subtropical Deserts". This type of climate is correlated with hot summers and mild winters.
