Answer 1

The best response to complete the sentence "Rational numbers cannot _____________." is:

be square roots of non-perfect squares.

Rational numbers can repeat digits in their decimal representation (like 1/3 = 0.333...) and can also be negative (like -1/2). Additionally, rational numbers do not go on forever and ever without repeating; they either terminate or have repeating decimals.
