Answer 4

Y < -11 means "y is less than -11"
Meaning y could be -11, -12, -13... but not -10
-11 is therefore the greatest possible
(you could also easily justify this with a number line)

Answer 5

I agree with scorcher, but the exact definition is that "y is less than -11".
Y is any vallue less than -11, for example -12, -11.05, or even -11.0000001, but it can never be exactly at -11.

unless it says \[y \ge -11\]

Answer 6

since they give us only 2 answer choice, I agree with scorcher. Greatest possible.
