Answer 1

Let us revise an important note

Positive numbers are increasing from 0 to positive infinity

Negative numbers are increasing from negative infinity to 0

If we divide 1 by 2, then the answer is 1/2 which is less than 2

That means the quotient is less than the divisor

If we divide 1 by -2, then the answer is -1/2 which is greater than -2

That means the quotient is greater than the divisor

Then the answer is

The result is greater than the number

The answer is A
