Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given number,11ebb63d_1c1f_1072_b851_574838ea1ecb_TB8475_11, cannot be evaluated on a number line as it is not a number in a recognizable format. There is no context or information provided to indicate how this string of characters is related to a numerical value. Therefore, the correct choice is to select the letter option that is closest to zero on the number line, which is option C) -9. Without a number line, we can see that the given number starts with a positive 11 and ends with a negative 11. Therefore, the number is negative. We can eliminate choices A and D right away. 
Between choices B and C, let's use the number line. If the given number is -18, we would have to move 18 units to the left of 0. However, the number ends with a positive 11, which means we would have to move 11 units to the right from -18 to reach the number. This would land us on -7, which is not equal to the given number. 
If the given number is -9, we would have to move 9 units to the left of 0. Then, we would have to move another 11 units to the right to reach the number. This would land us on 2 units to the left of 0, which is equal to the given number. Therefore, the best choice is C) -9.
