Answer 1

Find the set that only # are less than -2
-5 is less than -2
-2.6 is less than -2
-2 is not less than -2 but it equals to -2, if the question was written in less than or equal to then it would be less than or equal to -2
–0.8, is not less than -2
1, not less than -2
1.5 not less than -2

you are looking for the numbers that are less than -2 :)
