D
A delivery of 6 boxes will contain
3 more defective lightbulbs than
a delivery of 2 boxes.
​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

For each box, there is 1 defective lightbulb. Therefore, a delivery of 4 boxes will have 4 defective lightbulbs. A delivery of 2 boxes has 2 defective lightbulbs. 4 defective lightbulbs subtracted by 2 defective lightbulbs equals 2 more defective lightbulbs in 4 boxes than 2. Therefore, it is B.
