Answer 4

since they give you answers, you can check and see, or to do it if it is not very simple

two consecutive numbers, let the first be n, the next will be n+1, consecutive means one and the next

sum of consecutive integers -> n + n+1
"is" - aka equals
59


n + n + 1 = 59
2n = 58
n=58/2 = 29

that tells you n=29 and the other n+1 = 30
