**Question:**

Which numbers from the set \(\{-63, -54, -41, 11, 13, 76, 80, 130, 132, 137\}\) are congruent to 7 mod 13?

**Options:**

- [ ] 137
- [ ] 13, 130
- [ ] -63, 80, 132
- [ ] -54, -41, 11, 76

**Explanation:**

To determine which numbers are congruent to 7 mod 13, we need to check the remainder when each number is divided by 13. If the remainder is 7, then the number is congruent to 7 mod 13.

Calculate for each number:

1. **137 mod 13** doesn't yield a remainder of 7.
2. **13 mod 13 = 0**; **130 mod 13** doesn't yield 7.
3. **-63 mod 13 = 7**, **80 mod 13** doesn't yield 7, **132 mod 13** doesn't yield 7.
4. **-54 mod 13** doesn't yield 7, **-41 mod 13 = 7**, **11 mod 13 = 11**, **76 mod 13** doesn't yield 7.

Thus, from the set, only **-63** and **-41** are congruent to 7 mod 13. The correct answer is: 

- [x] -63, -41
