Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Objects in the same locality will ultimately reach the same temperature when hot things cool and cool things warm. Likewise for a thermometer that cools or warms to the temperature of the object of contact. It reaches thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, which is displayed on its scale.
