The correct answer is 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pages James reads per day, we need to divide the total number of pages he reads by the number of days he reads. James reads 120 pages in 5 days. If we divide 120 pages by 5 days, we get:

120 pages ÷ 5 days = 24 pages/day.

Therefore, James reads 24 pages per day.
