Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: option b.Step-by-step explanation: Based on the information given, you know that: - The ground is at 0 feet. - The initial posititions of both elevators were at 0 feet (because both moved from the ground level). Therefore: - If the final position of Elevator 1 is at +17 feet (positive) means that it moved 17 feet above the ground level. - If the final position of Elevator 2 is at -22 feet (observe the negative sign) means that it moved 22 feet below the ground level.
