So I wrote it, but brainly wouldn't accept, here's a screenshot.
I'm not sure how you would like them classified but,
-2.9 less than -1.5
2.3 greater than -1.5

Well a digression is a temporary departure from the main subject in speech or writing. So because the person writing the paragraph getting ill last year has nothing to do with this years cookie sale, I think you are correct, sentence 3 is an example of a digression. So D is the answer.
Answer:
1.65 metres
Explanation:
Previously, the height was 1.5 metres. Then the plant grew 15 centimetres. Unfortunately, we cannot just add 15 to 1.5 because metres and centimetres are different. We must convert centimetres into metres.
There are 100 cm in 1 m, so let's set up a proportion:
, where x is the number of metres in 15 cm
Cross-multiply:
100 * x = 15 * 1
100x = 15
x = 0.15 metres
Now, add 0.15 to 1.5:
1.5 + 0.15 = 1.65 metres
Hope this helps!
