Final answer:

The question asks to arrange the recorded daily temperatures from coldest to warmest. By listing them in ascending order, we find the correct sequence to be Monday, Thursday, Tuesday, Friday, and Wednesday, corresponding to answer option (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires arranging the recorded temperatures from coldest to warmest. To do this, we will list the temperatures in ascending order:

  • Monday: -2.1°C
  • Thursday: -1.3°C
  • Tuesday: -0.8°C
  • Friday: 0.4°C
  • Wednesday: 1.5°C

Now, we can see the order from the coldest to the warmest temperature: Monday, Thursday, Tuesday, Friday, Wednesday. So the correct answer is option (c). Analyzing temperature patterns over time, like in Chicago, helps us understand the typical weather. But here, we're simply ordering individual values.
