Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The Saffir-Simpson scale classifies hurricanes into five categories based on the highest current 1-minute average winds in the hurricane. Generally, higher-category hurricanes have lower central pressures and larger storm surges. The scale is based on wind speeds because storm surges are affected by nonmeteorological factors such as coastal configuration and the steepness of the offshore continental shelf.
