but the first question's answer is E. So that means r>-5 covers r>-1 but not sufficient...?

this is the part I got confused...
No, over here the question says,
if r>-5 is r>-1, so over here u have to check if r>-1 entirely covers r>-5 which it doesnt, bcoz r can take values between -5 and -1 in which case r is not >-1 ,
the answer would have been A if the question said
r>-1 and asked u
if r>-5 .. in such a case r>-5 does entirely cover r>-1 ... as u see there is a subtle difference between both and that subtle difference is what changes the answer in both these cases...
On a off note, u really dont have to be sorry about anything ..
