GMAT Data Sufficiency (DS) | Is (x + 1)/(x - 3) < 0 ?

Is (x + 1)/(x - 3) < 0 ?

plotting the inequality we get the zone -1<x<3 satisfying the above inequality.

(1) -1 < x < 1
as this range is subset of -1<x<3 so the inequality will always be -ve. Sufficient.

(2) x^2 - 4 < 0

-2<x<2
For this range, we can have both +ve and -ve values for the given inequality. Insufficient.

Hence A.
