    answer 15 correct option is b. 73.7°

    answer 16 correct option is с. 47°

    Explanation:

    we know that on 4th july Northen hemisphere have summer and Washington, D. C also in Northen hemisphere

    and sun present at 23.5° latitude

    so latitude of sun is calculate as given figure below

    = 90° - (39° - 23.5°)

    = 74.5°

    so correct option is b. 73.7

    this difference if because we take latitude 23.5° that is approx on 24 july

    but july 4 latitude will be some low

    and

    we know during summer declination angle is + 23.5 in N. H.

    and during winder declination angle is - 23.5 in N. H.

    and at spring and autumn sun is at equator

    the declination angle change is

    declination angle change = 27.5 + 27.5 = 47°
