Question
when you are cold, you shiver to ________ your body temperature.
○ increase
○ decrease
● maintain
Brief Explanations
When the body is cold, shivering is a physiological response of the body's thermoregulatory mechanism. The purpose of shivering is to generate heat through muscle contractions to help the body maintain a relatively stable internal temperature (homeostasis), rather than simply increasing or decreasing it randomly. So the correct answer is "maintain".
