C rain shower
CD snowfall

Answer 1

Answer: D snowfall

Explanation:

40°F is 4.4°C

This temperature is about the temperature of ice.

Therefore, snow is expected to be present in that environment.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rain shower is most likely to occur where Richard is. (Option c)

• The air pressure is lower than the normal and that's why it suggests that the rainfall will happen in that place because rainfall generally occurs in the place where the low pressure is formed.

• And,the temperature is above than the freezing point of the water so there are no chances of the snowfall in that place.

• That's why rainfall is the most probable thing that will happen in that place.
