Nicolas plays two rounds of golf. In the first round, he scores 3 under par, and he scores 3 over par for the second round. Are these opposite quantities whose sum is 0? Respond 1 if these quantities are opposites. Respond 2 if these quantities are not opposites.

To determine if the quantities are opposites, we need to check if the second round's score is the negation (opposite) of the first round's score.
The first round's score is 3 under par, which means it is -3.
The second round's score is 3 over par, which means it is +3.
Since -3 and +3 are not negations of each other and their sum is not equal to 0, these quantities are not opposites. So, the correct response is 2.
