Is -7 < y < 10 ?

(1) y > -6

(2) y < 0

Statement 1 doesnt put an upper limit for the value of y, and hence, not sufficient.
Statement 2 means y can take any negative value.

Combining; -6<y<0, which is a subset of the question stem.

this is a Yes / No question type so we only need either a Yes or a No and if we get both then the answer could be C

combining 1 & 2 we get $$-6<y<0$$. so all the values of $$y$$ in this range are between $$-7<y<10$$. We have a Yes here. So C is sufficient
