    16.  On a fall day when the atmospheric temperature gradient matches the standard lapse rate the temperature on the BYU
   campus (elevation = 4600 feet) is 59°F.  What is the is the approximate temperature at the same time on the summit of
   Timpanogos (elevation = 11750 feet)?  (a) 20°F, (b) 33°F, (c) 37°F, (d) 44°F, (e) 52°F. (missed by 61% of class
    members)

    37.  A group of cumulus humilis clouds is based 2500 meters above a plain where the temperature is 30°C.  The dew point at
   ground level is (a) 10°C, (b) 16°C, (c) 20°C, (d) 24°C, (e) 30°C. (61%)

    46.  On a day when orographic rainfall is occurring on a mountain range, conditions at a given elevation on the western slope
    of the range, when compared with conditions at the same elevation on the eastern slope of the range, are likely to be
    characterized by (a) lower temperature and lower dew point, (b) lower temperature and higher dew point, (c) higher
    temperature and lower dew point, (d) higher temperature and higher dew point. (78%) 

     48.  Isolated cumulus puffs lie 1000 feet above the surface.  A scattered layer of stratocumulus lies 2000 feet up and a layer
    of broken stratus clouds is found at 5000 feet.  A scattered layer of altocumulus occurs at 8000 feet and a layer of
    broken altostratus clouds is found at 14000 feet.  An overcast cirrostratus layer is based at 26000 feet.  The altitude of
    the "ceiling" is (a) 1000 feet, (b) 2000 feet, (c) 5000 feet, (d) 8000 feet, (e) 14000 feet, (f ) 26000 feet, (g) there is no
