Consider the following code segment.Assumethat indext is a number between 1 and LENGTH(theList), inclusive and index2 is a number between 2 and LENGTH(theList) 1, inclusive theListarrow [9,-1,5,2,4,8] xarrow theList[index1]+theList[index2] What is the largest possible value that the variable x can have after the code segment executes? A square B 14 C ) 11 (D) 4

To find the largest possible value of x, we need to consider the largest possible values for theList[index1] and theList[index2]. Since index1 is a number between 1 and LENGTH(theList), inclusive, and index2 is a number between 2 and LENGTH(theList), inclusive, the largest possible values for theList[index1] and theList[index2] are the largest elements in the list.<br /><br />In this case, the largest element in the list is 9. Therefore, the largest possible values for theList[index1] and theList[index2] are 9.<br /><br />So, the largest possible value of x is:<br />x = theList[index1] + theList[index2]<br />x = 9 + 9<br />x = 18<br /><br />Therefore, the largest possible value that the variable x can have after the code segment executes is 18.<br /><br />The correct answer is: A) 18
