Concept:In an arithmetic sequence the same number (the common difference) is added each time. Find it from consecutive terms.Solution:$-2 - (-5) = -2 + 5 = 3$$1 - (-2) = 1 + 2 = 3$So the common difference is $3$: add $3$ each time.Missing term $= 1 + 3 = 4$Check: $4 + 3 = 7$, the last term ✓Answer:Option C ($4$)
