The answer would be D) all of the above, since the sentences all use a physical thing such as the color black, or water to represent something deeper than it's literal meaning.
Answer:
1,3, and 4 are cooperative. 2 and 5 create conflict because of the argumentative tone.
Explanation:
3 could actually go either way because some people may argue, but it is asked in a reasonable tone so I would place it in the cooperative category with 1 and 4.
3x + 7 = x - 15
First, make sure to subtract

from both sides.
Second, simplify 3x - x to get 2x, and then keep the 7.
Third, subtract

from both sides.
Fourth, simplify -15 - 7 to get -22.
Fifth, take the 2 and divide both sides by it, keeping the

by itself.
Sixth, since 11 goes into 2 to get 22, simplify the fraction to 11.

Answer:
x = -11
