Because it’s the number of “temperatures” (or rather the 1-degree increments between them) on the thermometer. Which you just counted by drawing an arrow to each one. It’s the right answer to the question they didn’t realize they were asking. 💯 A+
(I appreciate that the teacher wrote “?” thus giving the child an opportunity to explain their answer, and see if they could provide the conventional answer if given a better prompt!)
Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.
It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.

But there are 31 temperatures
Only if you count 0 and 30
There’s 27 if you don’t count 0, 5, 12 and 23.
I do, those are definitely still temperatures.
Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn’t one of the choices. Tbextrah, there’s infinite temps in between the full degrees.
