if n is real, that means that it is not imaginary.

multiply it by 2 and it is still real.

all the other options are part of the real number set implying that it could be any of them.

if 2n^2 is an even integer, what can you say about (n+1)?

2 * n^2 will always be even because it will be always be divisible by 2 since it was multiplied by 2.

n+1 should therefore be either even or odd, because n could be either even or odd.
