70% to pass

During daylight savings time the meridian used for determining the time is located farther _______________.

A west
B east
C east in west longitude and west in east longitude
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, the clocks are moved forward by one hour, effectively shifting the local time zone eastward relative to the standard time zones. As a result, the meridian used for determining the time is located farther east. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the shift in the meridian during daylight saving time. Option A) west is incorrect, as the meridian moves eastward, not westward. Options C) and D) are also incorrect, as they describe a shift in the opposite direction or a combination of shifts that does not accurately represent the change during daylight saving time.
