Connor is playing a card game. At the end of each round, players earn positive points for their remaining number cards but negative points for their face cards (jack, queen, king, and ace). At the end of round 1, Connor earns -5 points. At the end of round 2, he earns -6 points. To determine his score, Connor added -5 + -6 and came up with -11 points. Is he correct? Why or why not?

Yes, Connor is correct.
No, Connor is incorrect. His score is 11 points, not -11 points, because a total is always positive.
No, Connor should have subtracted -5 - (-6) because the points he earned were negative.
