### Finding the Solution Set of the Inequality

To solve the inequality

\[ \frac{2x^2 + 4x - 6}{x^2 + 2x - 8} \geq 0, \]

we need to determine the intervals on the real number line where this inequality holds true.

Consider the following solution sets:

1. \((-4, -3] \cup [1, 2)\)
2. \((-4, -3) \cup (1, 2)\)
3. \((-\infty, -4) \cup [-3, 1] \cup (2, \infty)\)
4. \((-\infty, -4] \cup (-3, 1) \cup [2, \infty)\)
5. \((-\infty, -4) \cup (-3, 1) \cup (2, \infty)\)

Analyze each option carefully to identify the correct solution set.

- **Option 1:** \((-4, -3] \cup [1, 2)\)
  - This is a union of two intervals: the interval \((-4, -3]\) excludes \(-4\) but includes \(-3\), and the interval \([1, 2)\) includes \(1\) but excludes \(2\).

- **Option 2:** \((-4, -3) \cup (1, 2)\)
  - This is a union of two intervals where both intervals exclude their endpoints.

- **Option 3:** \((-\infty, -4) \cup [-3, 1] \cup (2, \infty)\)
  - This is a union of three intervals: the interval \((-\infty, -4)\) extends to negative infinity but excludes \(-4\), the interval \([-3, 1]\) includes both \(-3\) and \(1\), and the interval \((2, \infty)\) extends to positive infinity but excludes \(2\).

- **Option 4:** \((-\infty, -4] \cup (-3, 1) \cup [2, \infty)\)
  - This is a union of three intervals: the interval \((-\infty, -4]\) extends to negative infinity and includes \(-4\), the interval
