I apologize for the confusion. Upon reviewing the statements again, it appears that statement B is correct.
B - The integer 25 represents the new shipment.
Statement E is still incorrect as it states that there are 26 copies available after Monday's sales, which contradicts statement D that asserts there are 35 copies available.
Statements A, B, and D are correct.
A: The integer 14 represents the sale of 14 books.
B: The integer 25 represents the new shipment.

Statement C is incorrect. The integer -21 does not represent the sale of 21 books. It is not mentioned in the given information.
Statement E is also incorrect. After Monday's sales, there would be 35 (45 + 25 - 14) copies available, not 26.
