他们在讨论早上和中午的冷热问题。
They are discussing whether it is hot or cold during morning and noon.
It can be seen from the article that the two children are debating whether or not the sun is far in the morning and near to us at noon, so the correct answer is B.
大和小 (Dà hé xiǎo): big and small
好和坏 (Hǎo hé huài): good and bad
长和宽 (Cháng hé kuān): long and wide
高和矮 (Gāo hé ǎi): tall and short
长和短 (Cháng hé duǎn) Long and short is a pair of antonyms, in addition, it’s a pair of antonyms which is similar to tall and short: 高和低 (gāo hé dī) high and low. So the correct answer is C.
