The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct terms regarding positive and negative integers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first blank:** - The question states, "1 is the _____ positive integer." - We know that the sequence of positive integers starts from 1. The smallest positive integer is 1 itself. - Therefore, we can fill in the first blank with the word "smallest." 2. **Identify the second blank:** - The question continues, "but _____ is the largest negative integer." - Negative integers are numbers less than zero. The largest negative integer is the one closest to zero. - Among the negative integers, -1 is larger than -2, -3, and so on. Therefore, the largest negative integer is -1. - We can fill in the second blank with "-1." ### Final Answer: 1 is the **smallest** positive integer but **-1** is the largest negative integer.
