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

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

This is because moving forward seven spaces and then moving back seven spaces cancels each other out, resulting in a net change of zero.

Another correct option is:

Sarah is charged a fee of $20 and withdraws $20.

This also results in a net change of zero, as the $20 charged (loss) and the $20 withdrawn (gain) balance each other out.

Both of these options describe situations where the quantities are opposite and sum up to zero.
