Which is the greater value, 9 or 4?

  1. 4, because the value nearer zero is the greater one
  2. 9, because it lies nearer zero than 4
  3. 9, because both values lie above zero, where the larger magnitude is the larger valueRespuesta correcta
  4. Neither, because both lie on the same side of zero

Explicación

Both values stand above zero, and above zero a greater magnitude means a greater value, so the one of size nine outranks the one of size four. The rule that the value nearer zero wins belongs to the negative side, where growing the magnitude lowers a value, so a route that reaches 9 through that rule reaches it by a reason that fails here and would name 4 if applied to the pair honestly.
