In any sequence of \(n\) nonzero numbers, a pair of consecutive terms with opposite signs represents a sign change. For example, the sequence \(-2, 3, -4, 5\) has three sign changes. Does the sequence of nonzero numbers \(s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots, s_n\) have an even number of sign changes?

(1) \(s_k=(-1)^k\) for all positive integers \(k\) from \(1\) to \(n.\)
(2) \(n\) is odd.
