Question

In January, the temperature in the southern part of Florida dropped below freezing several nights in a row. One fruit grower commented that climate was really bad for the orange crop this year. Why was his comment incorrect?

Climate refers to precipitation instead of temperature so the climate did not change.

Cold weather can sometimes occur even in a warm climate such as southern Florida.

It would have to be cold for many nights in a row to indicate that the climate had changed.

The climate in Florida does not ever change so it is only the weather that can be bad for the crop.

Answer 1

C !! climate is different from weather. Weather can be described as a day to day fluctuation in temperature, precipitation levels, etc. , while climate is an overall assessment of a region’s average temperature, humidity, precipitation, winds, etc. over a long period of time

Answer 2

He was talking about weather, not climate. The climate is still fine, but for a short time, that weather was not good for the oranges. I believe the answer is the last one
