i am thinking B as well....from I we cannot say anything since x is odd if y is odd and even if y is even

from II x is even if y is odd (9z^2 + 7z will be sum of 2 odds) and even if y is even...

so B

B

1) x = y^2 +4y + 6

Let y be even
then x = E + E + E = E
Let y be odd
Then x = O + E + E = O

2) x = 9z^2 + 7z - 10
Let z be even
x = E + E - E = E
Let z be odd
x = O + O - E = E

Suff

Hence B

Yeah this one is pretty easy
I don't know if this is a 700 level problem
Maybe it's just easy well because my practice scores are around a 700..ha:)
