If \(|x + 3| < 5\) then which of the following cannot be true?

Explanation: \(|x + 3| < 5\). So, \(-5 < x + 3 < 5\). So, \(-5 - 3 < x + 3 - 3 < 5 - 3\). So, \(-8 < x < 2\). So, the value of x can be anything between -8 and 2 but not -8 and 2 themselves. So, x can be greater than 1, as in 1.01, 1.001 and so on; x can be equal to 0; x can be less than -6 as in -7, -6.5, and so on; but x cannot be less than -9. So correct answer is option D.
