Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

1. **−2 is less than −2 1/2.**
This statement is **False**.
\(-2\) is equal to \(-2\) and is greater than \(-2\) 1/2 (\(-2.5\)).

2. **1.5 is greater than 1.**
This statement is **True**.
\(1.5\) is indeed greater than \(1\).

3. **1 is greater than −1/2.**
This statement is **True**.
\(1\) is greater than \(-0.5\).

4. **−1 1/2 is less than −1.**
This statement is **True**.
\(-1\) 1/2 (\(-1.5\)) is indeed less than \(-1\).

So, the summary of the evaluations:

1. **False**
2. **True**
3. **True**
4. **True**
