@ humayun "The King"


I've a confusion over the answer of ur 10th question, as far as i know -59F is the avg annual temp. whereas the question was about the avg summer temp. which can be taken as approximately -23 F (the most appropriate option of the 4). Can u give me the reference of ur info? I'll really appreciate it.



Regards,
angelfalls!!
