Answer:

The correct statement would be: The positive number is 1/2 unit less than the opposite of the negative number.

Step-by-step explanation:

All stamemts are true except for the last one:

The positive number is 1/2 unit more than the negative number.

We can see in the plot that 1.5 is above zero and -2 is below zero.

So, -2<1.5

The opposite number of -2 is 2 and we can see that opposite number is 1/2 greater than 1.5. So, -2<1.5<2
