70% to passDuring daylight savings time the meridian used for determining the time is located farther _______________.
A
east in west longitude and west in east longitude
B
east
C
west
D
west in west longitude and east in east longitude
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) east. During daylight saving time, the meridian used for determining the time is located farther east. This is because during daylight saving time, clocks are moved forward by one hour, effectively shifting the time zone farther east. As a result, the meridian used to determine the time is also shifted farther east. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the shift in the meridian during daylight saving time. Option A) is incorrect because the meridian shifts in the same direction (east) regardless of the longitude. Options C) and D) are incorrect because the meridian shifts farther east, not west.
