Question:
Fernando evaluated the expression below.
What was Fernando's error?
- Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.
- Fernando simplified 20/2 incorrectly.
- Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.
- Fernando evaluated (-3)² incorrectly.
Answer:
- Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.
Explanation:
Given
Required
Spot the error
The error in this evaluation is the product of -2 and -5 at step 2
When a negative number (-2) is multiplied by a negative number (-5), the outcome of the multiplication is always a positive number (10).
So, the result of -2 * -5 is 10 but Fernando incorrectly calculated it as -10.
Solving the expression, correctly
Hence, the actual result of the expression is 29 (not 9 as calculated by Fernando).
Answer:
The excerpt that provides the most details about the main characters' lives outside the railway station is:
D. "He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights."
Explanation:
"Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway is a short story revolving around the conflict between the two main characters. <u>They are a couple - apparently, unmarried -, and she is pregnant. However, their lifestyle will be greatly affected if she has the child. They live an easy life, comprised mainly of traveling and drinking, as the excerpt reveals:</u>
<em><u>"He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights."</u></em>
<u>The passage above reveals they travel a lot in each other's company. We do not know much about their lives besides that revelation - what their professions are, why they have the means to travel so much, etc.</u>
She is tired of such a life. She sees it as meaningless, pointless. He, on the other hand, does not want to be disturbed or concerned by the existence of a child. He defends the idea that they are happy the way they are, and that nothing should change.
