Answer:

B

Explanation:

1) |7| is the same as 7... as the statement 7 < 7 is not true as both of them as the same

2) -4 is greater than -5 so this statement is tue

3) |5| is the same as 5... and the statement 5 > 7 is false as 7 is the one that is greater

4) |-5| is the same as 5 bc of the bars next to the number, it indicates that u have to use absolute value.... by using absolue value, 5 is not less than -4... so this statement is false
