Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Miami has year-round high temperatures and high humidity. In midsummer, temperatures can be rang from 30-35C (86-95F) with high humidity. By contrast, San Francisco maximum summer temperatures are 19-21C (66-70F). These high temperatures correspond with San Francisco's dry season (though not discussed in this chapter, this is a Mediterranean climate with winter precipitation maximums). The answer, therefore, is Miami.
