Problem 7 is choice B, which is the entire number line shaded in but the value -4 has a hole at this location to mean "exclude this point from the solution set". So basically x can be any number but -4.
Problem 8 is choice C. You have a closed circle (or filled in hole) at -1.5 on the number line. Then you shade to the left of the closed circle to indicate the set of values that are smaller than this endpoint. So n can be -1.5 or it can be smaller than -1.5 (something like -2 or -3, etc).
