To determine the most likely temperature on March 4, we can look at the temperature trend in the given data.
The temperature is increasing by 2°F each day:
March 1: 52°F
March 2: 54°F
March 3: 56°F
Following this trend, the most likely temperature on March 4 would be 2°F higher than March 3, which would be 56°F + 2°F = 58°F.
However, none of the given options match 58°F. The closest option is 55°F. Therefore, the most likely temperature on March 4 would be 55°F.
So the answer is:
A. 55°F
