Answer 1

first answer ---- correct
2nd answer ---- wrong, to have a number less than 6.5x10^-5,
look for an exponent less than -5, I see 4.6x10^-6 , the correct answer.

3rd answer ---- correct

4th answer ---- I see 2 numbers which are > than 5.5x10^-7
namely 6.7x10^8 and 5.2x10^3 , notice their exponents are greater than the exponent of 5.5x10^-7
I also see 2 numbers which are < 5.5x10^-7
namely 1.8x10^-12 and 3.9 x 10^-8 , notice their exponents are less than the exponents of 5.5x10^-7
