Answer 1

Let's solve each of the questions step by step:

**Question 1: \((-4)(-3)\)**
- When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is positive.
- \((-4)(-3) = 12\).

The correct response for Question 1 is: **B 12**.

---

**Question 2: \((8)(-5)\)**
- When multiplying a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative.
- \((8)(-5) = -40\).

The correct response for Question 2 is: **A -40**.

---

**Question 3: \((-2)(-2)(-2)(-2)\)**
- First, we can pair the negative numbers:
- \((-2)(-2) = 4\) (which is positive).
- Then, multiply the results:
- \(4 \times (-2) = -8\) (which is negative).
- \(-8 \times (-2) = 16\) (which is positive).

The correct response for Question 3 is: **B 16**.

In summary:
1. Question 1: **B 12**
2. Question 2: **A -40**
3. Question 3: **B 16**
