Question 2

Idea: On a number line, moving to the right means the number becomes positive.

Step 1: Start at (0).

Step 2: Move 1 step to the right: (0 \rightarrow 1).

Here, (1) is positive, written as (+1).

Step 3: Move the 2nd step to the right: (1 \rightarrow 2).

Now we are at (+2).

Step 4: Move the 3rd step to the right: (2 \rightarrow 3).

Now we are at (+3).

Step 5: Move the 4th step to the right: (3 \rightarrow 4).

Now we are at (+4).

Step 6: Move the 5th step to the right: (4 \rightarrow 5).

Now we are at (+5).

Conclusion: The integer 5 units to the right of (0) is (+5). So, option A is correct.
