Answer:

-3

Explanation:

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. Therefore, -2+(-1)=-2-1=-3.

The logic:

Because you're subtracting a number, you want to make the value of the difference less than the original value, since -3 is less than -2, this answer checks out.
