Problem

Consider the series ∑n=1∞(−1)n+1ln⁡nn\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^{n+1}\frac{\ln n}{n}. Which of the following best describes its convergence? (a) It diverges because ln⁡n\ln n grows without bound, so the alternating terms behave like the harmonic series. (b) It converges absolutely. (c) It converges conditionally. (d) It diverges as a pp-series with p=1p=1.
