Q:

A stone floor feels cold to the bare feet but a carpet on the same floor feels warm. This is because 

A) the floor and carpet are at different temperatures B) the stone conveys the heat away from the feet more rapidly than the carpet
C) the carpet is a better conductor of heat than the stone D) the human body maintains a constant temperature
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) the stone conveys the heat away from the feet more rapidly than the carpet

Both the floor and the carpet have the same temperature as both are exposed to the same atmosphere. But the former conducts away the heat from the feet better than the carpet as the latter is a non-conductor. So the feet losing more heat, the floor appears cooler to the feet.

Q:

Fish and other aquatic creatures can live inside a deep frozen pond because 

A) fish are cold-blooded animals B) ice is a bad conductor of heat
C) there will always be water just beneath the ice level D) they can adapt themselves to live in ice
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) there will always be water just beneath the ice level

Explanation:

Water has the maximum density at 4oC. So at this temperature, it sinks down to bottom and stays here. If it cools further, it will become less dense and move up. So while the upper layers can cool enough to form ice, the bottom layers remain as water at  4oC .  

Therefore, (C) is correct.
