Answer:

Last option: {-5, -1, 2, 11}

Explanation:

Required inequality is x > -6

That means every item in the set of values indicated should be > - 6

We should eliminate answers with - 6 since -6 is not greater than -6 it is ≥ -6

That leaves 2 and 4

When comparing negative numbers, a negative number which has absolute value greater than the absolute value of another number will always be less than the other number

For example, -11 has absolute value 11

- 6 has absolute value 6

11 > 6

So - 11 < -6

All the values in option 2 are therefore < - 6

Therefore last option is the correct one

-5 > -6, -1 > -6 and positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers
