For years, rita visited her friend's house near the ocean. she noticed that her own home, far from the beach, experiences much greater sways in temperature. what is the reason for this?

the salt content of the ocean air combat extreme changes in temperature.
ocean storms serve as buffer against temperature extremes.
rita is imagining this climate difference. everything seems nicer at the beach.
large bodies of water, when compared to land, take longer to heat and cool.
