Answer 1

The situation that is NOT an example of two quantities that combine to make zero is:

Benjamin lost 6 pounds and then gained 8 pounds.

In this case, the net change is a gain of 2 pounds overall (gained 8 pounds after losing 6), rather than returning to zero. All the other situations result in a net change of zero.
