Unless I am reading this wrong

a<b<c<0 means that a, b, and c are all negative. If this is true, then a+b would be negative and b+c would be negative. Since a negative over a negative is always positive, then the final answer has to be greater than 0 and is also therefore definitely greater than -1, so answer choice E would work.
