Arrange −11, −2, −19 and −7 in increasing order (least first).

  • A−2, −7, −11, −19
  • B−19, −11, −7, −2
  • C−19, −11, −2, −7
  • D−7, −2, −19, −11

Step-by-Step Solution

All four integers are negative, so the one with the biggest digit sits furthest left and is the least: −19, then −11, then −7, then −2. The trap is the first option, which lines the digits up from small to large — with negatives that produces decreasing order, not increasing.
Answer: B) −19, −11, −7, −2

Key idea: Comparing integers

On the number line, the integer on the **right** is the **larger** one. So 5 > 2, but also −2 > −5. This often surprises students: even though 5 is bigger than 2, **−5 is smaller than −2**, because −5 is further to the left. Any positive integer is larger than any negative integer, and zero sits between them.
