Step-by-step explanation:
Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.

Answer:
none of the options shown
Step-by-step explanation:
You can add 2x+2 to the inequality and get ...
8 ≥ 2x
4 ≥ x . . . . . divide by 2
This means that there should be a solid circle at x=4, and shading should be to the left of that.
None of the three graphs shown here is appropriate. (We don't see Option 2.)

Attached is the output of a graphing calculator. The solid line at x=4 corresponds to a filled dot on a number line plot.
