Answer 3

Let's say you owe someone money. What do you prefer to owe, 5 dollars or 11 dollars? You'd prefer 5 dollars right? You prefer it because its less, because its closer to 0. 11 on the other hand is more money you owe. If you said which integer was greater than -5 it would be anything to the right on a number line starting from -4.
