Answer 1

i think the answer 2 

Answer 2

Answer: 14

Explanation:

Given: The number of pets Darlene is adopting = 1

The number of kittens =8

The number of puppies = 6

Therefore, the total number of pets is given by :-

`\text{Total Pets}=\text{Number of kittens +Number of Puppies}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Total Pets}=8+6=14`

Now, if Darlene is adopting only one pet then the number of choices Darlene has = 14

Hence, the number of ways can she choose a pet to adopt = 14.
