Solve the inequality: (x - 5) / (x + 1) < 0.

A x < -1 or x > 5
B -1 < x < 5
C x < -1
D x > 5

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Critical points are x = 5 and x = -1. Test intervals: x < -1 (e.g., -2 gives positive), -1 < x < 5 (e.g., 0 gives negative), x > 5 (e.g., 6 gives positive). The inequality is true when -1 < x < 5.
