Read the excerpt from a narrative set in Mammoth Cave: 'Elena paused near the bottom of the stone staircase, pointing her flashlight at the ceiling. Condensation dripped softly onto the limestone floor, sounding like a steady clock in the vast subterranean darkness. Her guide, Marcus, checked his watch and noted that outside, the afternoon sun was blazing at ninety degrees, yet down here, the thermometer pinned steady at fifty-four degrees.' Based on the excerpt, what can the reader infer about the environment inside Mammoth Cave?

The cave maintains a constant cool temperature regardless of the weather outside. The temperature inside the cave rises significantly during hot summer afternoons. Water runoff inside the cave makes walking along the stone stairs impossible. The guide lost track of time because flashlights do not work underground.

Correct Answer:

The cave maintains a constant cool temperature regardless of the weather outside.
