ok Ms. Sue the real answer is 3

am I right?!

2 is the best answer.

To determine which comments are examples of hypotheses suggested to explain what caused the lights to go out, we need to analyze each comment.

Comment A is not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be considered a hypothesis.

Comment B, however, suggests a hypothesis by stating that the lights went out due to a power outage.

Comment C also offers a hypothesis by suggesting that the lights went out because of faulty electrical wiring.

Comment D does not propose a hypothesis; it is a statement about the duration of the power outage.

Comment E, on the other hand, presents a hypothesis by stating that the lights went out due to severe weather conditions.

So, based on the analysis, the correct answer is 2. B and C only are examples of hypotheses suggested to explain what caused the lights to go out.
