Explanation:

First Question (about sunny and 70°F today)

• Environment: Refers to the surroundings, not specific short - term atmospheric conditions.
• Economics: Deals with production, distribution, and consumption of goods/services, irrelevant here.
• Climate: Is long - term average weather of a region, not daily conditions.
• Weather: Is short - term (daily) atmospheric conditions like temperature and precipitation. So sunny and 70°F today is weather.

• Polar climate: Extremely cold, not suitable for shorts in winter.
• Temperate climate: Has distinct seasons with cold winters, not suitable for shorts in winter.
• Tropical climate: Is warm and humid year - round, so even in winter (which is still warm), one can wear shorts and flip - flops.
• Mediterranean climate: Has mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, winters are not warm enough for shorts typically.
