    B. Oliver can watch TV for 1.5 hours more this week.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Oliver is not allowed to watch more than 4 hours of television a week. He watched his favorite show on Monday which was 1 hour long and his favorite Tuesday show which was 1.5 hours long.

    So he has already finished 2.5 hours of watching. He can watch only for 4 hours for the total week.

    Let x be the number of more hours for which he can watch television.

    Then,

    x + 1 + 1.5 = 4

    x + 2.5 = 4

    x = 4 - 2.5

    x = 1.5 hours.

    So Oliver can watch television for at most 1.5 hours for the rest of the week.

    Then the correct option is B.
