Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \):

1. The square root of 19, \( \sqrt{19} \), is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

2. When subtracting 32 (which is an integer) from an irrational number \( \sqrt{19} \), the result will still be an irrational number.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**an irrational number**
