Calculate the difference in longitude between Town B and Town A.

Town B is at $40^\circ$ E.
Town A is at $20^\circ$ E.
Since both are in the East, subtract the longitudes.

$$\text{Longitude difference} = 40^\circ \text{ E} - 20^\circ \text{ E} = 20^\circ$$

The Earth rotates $1^\circ$ in 4 minutes.

$$\text{Time difference} = 20^\circ \times 4 \text{ minutes/degree} = 80 \text{ minutes}$$ $$80 \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour and } 20 \text{ minutes}$$

Town A ($20^\circ$ E) is west of Town B ($40^\circ$ E). Locations to the west have an earlier time.
Time at Town B is 10:00 am.

$$\text{Time at Town A} = 10:00 \text{ am} - 1 \text{ hour } 20 \text{ minutes}$$ $$\text{Time at Town A} = 8:40 \text{ am}$$

The time at Town A is $\boxed{\text{8:40 am}}$.

2. Characteristics of Human Rights

Three characteristics of human rights are:

• Inherent: Human rights are not granted by any state or authority; they belong to every person by virtue of their humanity.
• Universal: Human rights apply equally to all people everywhere, without discrimination.
• Indivisible and Interdependent: All human rights are equally important and cannot be separated from each other. The enjoyment of one right often depends on the enjoyment of others.

3. Ways Christians Demonstrate Love by Praying for All People

Christians demonstrate love by praying for all people in several ways:

• They follow the teachings of Jesus to love their neighbors and even their enemies, extending goodwill and seeking divine intervention for the good of the entire world.
• Praying for all people acknowledges the shared humanity and interconnectedness of individuals, fostering a sense of unity and care beyond personal circles.
