Answer:
-8^(\circ)C

Explanation:

Given

The temperature on Tuesday is
1^(\circ)C

Temperature drops to
-2^(\circ)C on Wednesday

Net drop in temperature
1-(-2)=3^(\circ)C

The temperature drops twice from Wednesday to Thursday


\Delta T=2* 3=6^(\circ)C

Temperature on Thursday


\Rightarrow -2-6=-8^(\circ)C
