Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The first step is to approximate the two numbers. Looking at the long string of digits, it's reasonable to round them to the nearest whole number, giving us 11 and 8968. Next, we list them in ascending order to get -4.5 and -2. Therefore, the best choice is C, which lists these values in ascending order.
