________________________________
\(\frac{7}{8}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{63}{72}+\frac{8}{72}=\frac{71}{72}\).
Now, \(\frac{71}{72}\) is less but very close to 1, so the answer is B.
Answer: B.
Else, one can notice that since \(\frac{1}{9}\) is less than \(\frac{1}{8}\), thus \(\frac{7}{8}+\frac{1}{9}\) is less than 1. Therefore we can eliminate answer choices C, D, and E. Next, since \(\frac{7}{8}>\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{8}\), then answer choice A is also out. So, only answer choice B remains.
Answer: B.

\(\frac{7}{8}+\frac{1}{9}<\frac{7}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=1\) and \(\frac{7}{8}+\frac{1}{9}>\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}\).
Hence, Answer C.
