A、 Statement(1) ALONE is sufficient，but statement (2) alone is not sufficient．
B、 Statement(2) ALONE is sufficient，but statement (1) alone is not sufficient．
C、 BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient．but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient．
D、 EACH statement ALONE is sufficient．
E、 Statements(1) and(2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient．

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】Let k be the smallest of the three consecutive integers. It follows that k + 1 and k + 2 are the other two integers and S = k + (k + 1) + (k + 2) = 3k + 3, where 5 is the sum of the three consecutive integers. Determine S.(1) It is given that 3k + 3 < k + 2. It follows that k < -1/2. If k = -1, then S = 0. However, if k = -2, then S = -3; NOT sufficient.(2) It is given that
