Puzzled at this alternating series problem.

I have rechecked this problem so many times, and even my tutor got stuck on this. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

My homework says I got at least one question wrong. And my tutor was confused too!.

$$\frac{n^2+8}{n^2+7}=1+\frac1{n^2+7}\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}1$$

and thus, as Simon commented, the general term's sequence does not converge to zero, and then the series diverges....and thus you have at least one answer wrong.
