Answer 1

The integer -20 would BEST represent the following TWO events:

1. You remove 20 pounds of peaches from a pile (which can be considered as a negative change in weight).
2. You withdraw $20 from a bank account (which represents a negative change in your bank balance).

Both of these events involve a decrease in quantity, making -20 the appropriate representation.
