Answer 2

A. A and E, W and X, C and P

Explanation:

The opposite of any number (let's call it "x") is a number which, if added to x, results in 0.

Typically is -x, because x + (-x) = x - x = 0

Knowing these, let's see the values that are marked:

A = -7

W = -5

C = -3

B = 1

P = 3

X = 5

E = 7

The opposite of 7 is -7, so A and E are opposites.

The oposite of 5 is -5, so X and W are opposites

The opposite of 3 is -3, so P and C are opposites.

The opposite of 1 is -1, but -1 is not marked.

The correct answer is the first one.
