[please answer with correct answer]

Temperature is a measure of ____ 

**Educational Exercise: Understanding Temperature**

**Question:**
Temperature is a measure of ___________________________.

**Options:**
- ○ heat
- ● kinetic energy

**Correct Answer:**
- Kinetic energy (indicated by a filled circle next to this option)

**Explanation:**
Temperature is not a direct measure of heat. Instead, it reflects the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. As particles move faster, their kinetic energy increases, which in turn raises the temperature. This exercise helps learners distinguish between heat and temperature, emphasizing the role of particle motion in determining temperature.
