Answer 1

Given:

`|p|=2`

This equation represents the total number of points that can be earned or lost during one tern of a game.

The modulus function is given positive values when x is greater than equal to zero. And it gives negative values for x less than zero.

`|x|=\begin{cases}x,x\ge0 \\ -x,x<0\end{cases}`

Thus,

|p|=2 gives 2 or -2

Answer: option d) 2 or -2
