Answer:

(A) 19 times, 16 people.

Explanation:

There are 374 people in line and 16 people leave the line without riding, so there are 374 - 16 = <<374-16=358>>358 people who want to ride the Caterpillar.

The Caterpillar seats 18 people, so it must run 358/18 = <<358/18=19.89>>19.89 times to accommodate all the riders.

Since the Caterpillar cannot run a fraction of a time, it must run 19 times.

There are 358 people who want to ride and the Caterpillar can accommodate 19 x 18 = <<19*18=342>>342 of them, so there are 358 - 342 = <<358-342=16>>16 people on the last ride.

Therefore, the Caterpillar runs 19 times and there are 16 people on the last ride, so the answer is (A) 19 times, 16 people.

Tell me if this helped :)
