Answer 1

The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is:

2 Eileen moves seven spaces forward, then she moves seven spaces back in a game.

In this case, moving forward and then moving back by the same amount cancels each other out, resulting in a net movement of 0.

While option 4 (Sarah is charged a fee of $20 and withdraws $20) does involve a cancellation of amounts, it does not create a scenario where the opposite actions directly return to a neutral state. Therefore, option 2 is the most direct example of opposite quantities that sum to zero.
