(1 point)
○ a warm air mass replaced a cold air mass.
○ a warm front moved into the area.
○ a cold front moved into the area.
○ high levels of moisture are contained within an air mass.

Explanation:

The weather starts sunny and warm, then becomes cloudy and rainy with a drop in temperature, ending with clear skies and cold temperatures. This pattern is characteristic of a cold - front moving in. A cold front pushes under a warm air mass, causing the warm air to rise, which leads to cloudiness, rain, and a drop in temperature as the cold air takes over.

Answer:

A cold front moved into the area.
