Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each statement

• Fort Nelson: \(-29^\circ F\), Whitehorse: \(-33^\circ F\), Edmonton: \(-18^\circ F\), Ottawa: \(5^\circ F\)
• Statement 1: Fort Nelson (\(-29\)) vs Whitehorse (\(-33\)). Since \(-29 > -33\), "less than" is wrong.
• Statement 2: Edmonton (\(-18\)) vs Fort Nelson (\(-29\)). Since \(-18 > -29\), this is correct.
• Statement 3: Whitehorse (\(-33\)) vs Ottawa (\(5\)). Since \(-33 < 5\), "greater than" is wrong.
• Statement 4: Ottawa (\(5\)) vs Edmonton (\(-18\)). Since \(5 > -18\), "less than" is wrong.

Answer:

The low temperature in Edmonton was greater than the low temperature in Fort Nelson.
