\(x^2 + 2x − 2\)	\(x^2 + 2x − 1\)

We can solve this question using matching operations

Given:
Quantity A: x² + 2x − 2
Quantity B: x² + 2x − 1

Subtract x² from both quantities to get:
Quantity A: 2x − 2
Quantity B: 2x − 1

Subtract 2x from both quantities to get:
Quantity A: −2
Quantity B: −1

-1 > -2, so the correct answer is B
