How hot is a dark-colored car?
- A.
  
  157
- B.
  
  178
- C.
  
  168
Correct Answer
C. 168

Explanation
Dark-colored cars tend to absorb more heat from the sun compared to lighter-colored cars. This is because dark colors absorb more light and convert it into heat energy. Therefore, a dark-colored car would be hotter than a lighter-colored car when exposed to the same amount of sunlight. The correct answer, 168, may represent a temperature measurement in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, indicating the increased heat absorbed by a dark-colored car.
