8. A girl is delivering newspapers while riding her bicycle. She rides her bicycle at a constant velocity of 2 m/s east. She throws a newspaper directly behind her at a velocity of 2 m/s west. To someone standing still nearby, what is the motion of the newspaper?

I have this question and here are the multiple choice answers:

a. - 2 m/s east
b. 0 m/s
c. -2 m/s west
d. 4 m/s

Can someone please help me with this question? I'm a little confused if it would be 0 or a negative because the newspaper is going in the opposite direction at the same velocity.
