1. Yes, because adding or subtracting 1,000 from any number ending in three zeros will always result in another number ending in three zeros.
2. No, because the difference between 15,678 and 11,678 is 4,000, which means they are not consecutive terms in a sequence counting by 1,000. The sequence would be 11,678, 12,678, 13,678, 14,678, 15,678.
3. Sam is incorrect. Counting in steps of 1,000 means adding 1,000 each time. The sequence should be 1,456, 2,456, 3,456, 4,456, etc., not 1,456, 1,556, 1,656, etc.
