D.

Answer 1

The answer is C.

The expression is telling you to multiply the parenthesis times four. When you multply two numbers,
`a * b`, it means that you're considering
`a` "copies" of
`b`, or if you prefer,
`b` repeated
`a` times.

So, you have

`2 * (1.351 - 381)` <- this is twice as much as the parenthesis

`3 * (1.351 - 381)` <- this is three times as much as the parenthesis

`4 * (1.351 - 381)` <- this is four times as much as the parenthesis
