    107 °F

    Explanation:

    Given that

    The temperature at sea level = 100°F

    height, h = 2000 feet

    The average lapse rate = 3.5°F/1000 feet

    Given that rise in temperature 3.5°F per 1000 feet.

    1000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F

    Given that 2000 feet

    2000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F x 2 + 100°F

    2000 feet ⇒ 107 °F

    Therefore the temperature will be 107 °F.
