You're very close. The answers you've selected are correct, but there's one third series that's also alternating. Choice C is also an answer due to the (-1)^n term.

Any alternating series is in the form \displaystyle \sum (-1)^n*a_n or \displaystyle \sum (-1)^{n+1}*a_n where a_n is any sequence.

Choice E comes close, but the 2n being the exponent means that we don't have alternating signs (positive, negative, positive negative, etc). Why is this? Well notice how 2n is even regardless of what integer n we pick. Raising any negative number to an even power results in a positive value.

Eg: (-7)^2 = 49 and (-3)^4 = 81

This means that all of the terms of sequence E are going to be positive. The terms do not bounce back and forth between positive and negative.

Put another way, (-1)^{2n} = \left((-1)^2\right)^n = 1^n = 1

So \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^{2n}\frac{1}{n+3} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n+3}

And it's why choice E is not one of the answers.

Well each ladder has 30, and then it depends on how each person climbs their ladder. One climb at the rate of -2 per second. The other climb at the rate of 1 per second. Just x is equal to 1, that's why I didnt put 1x.
Equation: 30 + -2x = 30 + x
