The best answer seems to be 30 degrees.
The choices are:
-90 degrees
-15 degrees
-60 degrees
-0 degrees
-30 degrees
Is that certain, Ms. Sue?
You can see the map. What do you think.
Well, it seems to inch more near the 60 degrees, but I will take your word for it.
The key word is "mostly." You may be right about 60, but I still think 30 is a better answer for this question.
What does your text say?
Also -- the question specifies arid areas on the western sides of the continents.
You're right! I just entered it into the multiple choice box and it told me I was correct. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
You're welcome.
I can think of several specific numbers of degrees.
What are your choices?
