Detailed Solution

We have to determine whether -1 is the smallest negative integer or not.
When we move from right to left, the number decreases and from left to right, the number increases.
By marking points at equal distances, draw a number line.
Question ImageSince we know the number increases on moving left to right. So, by observing the number line -1 is the greatest negative integer.
Hence, the greatest negative integer is – 1, so, option 2 is correct.
