\(C\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{For like terms algebraic parts are identical:}\)

\(\text{Option A:}\longrightarrow m^2\neq m\)

\(\text{Option B:}\longrightarrow mn\neq m\)

\(\text{Option C:}\longrightarrow m = m\ \checkmark\)

\(\text{Option D:}\longrightarrow 4+m\neq m\)

\(D\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Considering the options}\)

\(\text{Option 1: If}\ x\ge -2\ \text{then}\ x+2\ge 0, \therefore \text{not always negative}\)

\(\text{Option 2:}\ x\ \text{is negative }\therefore x\times -1\ \text{is always positive}\)

\(\text{Option 3:}\ x\ \text{is negative }\therefore 2-x\ \text{is always positive}\)
