Answer:

Fly down 5 feet and return to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A bird flew from the ground onto a tree branch 5 feet above the ground.

We are supposed to find What could the bird do next that would make this situation a model of combining a number and its additive inverse

Additive inverse - What you add to a number to get zero is additive inverse.

The negative of a number.

Now we are told  What could the bird do next that would make this situation a model of combining a number and its additive inverse

Since it already flew 5 feet above the ground .

Additive inverse of 5 feet is -5 feet

So, to make the situation of combining a number and its additive inverse

Bird has to flew 5 feet return to the ground i.e.-5 feet

So, a model of combining a number and its additive inverse = 5+(-5)

Hence Option A is correct.

Fly down 5 feet and return to the ground.
