Answer:

b is the correct answer

Option B situations do the quantities combine to make 0.

What are arithmetic operators?

Arithmetic operations are a set of four basic operations to be performed to add, subtract, multiply or divide two or more quantities. These are also known as mathematical operations.

Addition

The addition is a basic mathematical skill of finding or calculating the total of two or more numbers, or we can say in simple words adding things together. It is denoted by the symbol ‘+’.

Subtraction

The subtraction arithmetic operation shows the difference between two numbers. It is denoted by the symbol ‘-‘. Subtraction is mostly used to find out what is left when things are taken away.

Multiplication

The repeated addition is known as multiplication. It is represented by the symbol ‘×’. Multiplication as an arithmetic operation helps us to find out the total when a number is repeating itself a number of times.

Division

The division is an act of dividing something into equal parts or groups. It is one of the four basic arithmetic operations which gives a fair result of equal sharing.

Option A :

Given

A bird flies 25 feet up in the air. It then flies 25 feet across to its

nest.

So, total distance flown by bird = 25 + 25 = 50 feet

Which do not combine to 0.

Option C :

A player in a game earns 4 points for getting an answer right. She

then earns 4 points for making it around the board.

Hence, total points earned = 4 + 4 = 8

Which do not combine to 0.

Option D :

A car is filled with 10 gallons of gas, Half of the 10 gallons are

then used on a day's drive.​

= 10 - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 10

= 10 - 5

= 5

Which do not combine to 0.

Option B :

Veronica receives $21 for babysitting. She then spends $21 on a

new shirt.

So net amount left with Veronica = 21 - 21 = 0

Hence, it combines to zero.
