Answer:

C

Explanation:

First, I think there is a printing issue on the paper because none of it makes sense.
I think it should look like this:
Temperature 74,66,58,50

Time. 8. ,6. ,4. ,2

If this is the case, We find the intervals between the numbers in the temperature column, which is 74-66=8, check it again using the other temperatures, 66-58=8, so the interval is 8 degrees F

Do the same for the time and you should get an interval of 2

Using the above data, we can see that for every 2 hours before the storm, the temperature decreases by 8 (i.e. for every hour before the storm, temperature decreases by 4.

So the only sensible option for now is B and C

Now we find the starting temperature:
After two hours the temperature decreased to 74 degrees F, so we just add the temperature decrease per hour , 4 degrees F , multiply it by 2 , then add the sum to 74

So the starting temperature is 82 degrees F
