    B. 3.040 3,140
    Explanation
    The missing numbers in the sequence are 3,040 and 3,140. This can be determined by observing the pattern in the given sequence. The numbers are increasing by 100 each time, so the missing numbers can be found by adding 100 to the previous number in the sequence.

    Correct Answer
    C. 8,462     8,470
    Explanation
    The pattern in the first set of numbers is that each number is increasing by 4. Therefore, the missing number is 8,462 and the next number is 8,466.

    The pattern in the second set of numbers is not clear. It seems that the numbers are increasing by different amounts each time. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the next two numbers in the sequence.

    The missing number can be determined by observing the pattern in the given sequence. The first number increases by 100 each time, while the second number remains the same. Therefore, the missing number should have the same second number as the previous numbers, which is 8, and the first number should be 100 more than the previous number, which is 8,123. Thus, the missing number is 8,023.

    Explanation
    The difference between two even numbers can be found by subtracting the smaller even number from the larger even number. In this case, the larger even number is 5,944 and the smaller even number is 4,127. Subtracting 4,127 from 5,944 gives us 1,817. Therefore, the difference between the two even numbers is 1,817.
