A. -36

E. -20

Answer: C

Solution:

If the largest integer in G is 7, the smallest integer is -7 (notice that 7 - (-7) + 1 = 15, the number of consecutive integers). Since the smallest integer in G is -7, the sum of all negative integers in G is:

(-7) + (-6) + (-5) + (-4) + (-3) + (-2) + (-1) = -28
