Answer 1

A) Positive, because the products (3) × (−3) and (−2) × (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Answer 2

Positive, because the products (3) × (−3) and (−2) × (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Explanation:

Since 1 * -1 = -1, and -1 * -1 = 1, the product of opposite signs produces negative numbers while the product of same signs produces positive numbers. So the product of 1 * 1 * 1 * -1 = -1, while -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 = 1.
