Answer 1

To determine the size of the gorilla group after the changes, we can start with the original number of members and adjust according to the changes:

1. Original group size: 10 members
2. 4 females emigrate: 10 - 4 = 6 members
3. 2 females immigrate: 6 + 2 = 8 members
4. 2 gorillas are born: 8 + 2 = 10 members
5. 1 male dies: 10 - 1 = 9 members

After all the changes, the group size is 9 members.

The correct response is: 9.
