Not addition, since \(-1+1=0\) and 0 doesn't belong to the set.

Not subtraction, since \(1-1=0\).

It is closed under multiplication. The set appears to contain all non-zero multiples of 3.

Not division, since dividing some of the numbers results in rationals which do not belong to the set.

What other operations are you supposed to consider?

I'd say it's closed for multiplication and division.
Any member of the set, when multiplied or divided by
any other one, produces another member of the set.
