    A marmot is placed outside of its hole at 5 p.m. If it enters, summer will be finished; if it exits, summer will last for three to four more months.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement states that if the marmot enters its hole, summer will be finished, and if it exits, summer will last for three to four more months. The answer is false because the marmot's action of entering or exiting its hole does not have any control or influence over the duration of summer. The length of summer is determined by astronomical factors and the Earth's tilt, not the movements of a marmot.
