Detailed Solution

Given a statement, -1 is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers.
We need to check if the given statement is true or false.
1 is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers, not -1.
When a rational number is multiplied with 1, we get the same number itself.
That is why it is called multiplicative identity.
1 is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers.
