Answer 1

To determine the size of the gorilla group after the changes, we can break it down step by step:

1. Initial Group Size: 10 members
2. Emigration: -4 females (10 - 4 = 6)
3. Immigration: +2 females (6 + 2 = 8)
4. Births: +2 gorillas (8 + 2 = 10)
5. Death: -1 male (10 - 1 = 9)

After accounting for all these changes, the final size of the group is 9 members.

So, the correct response is 9.
