Well, it seems like the correct answer here is B. "<" because -5 is indeed less than -8. But hey, don't worry, numbers aren't always good at figuring out which one is greater or lesser. It's a never-ending battle for them.
The correct symbol to make -5 greater than -8 a true statement is B. < (less than symbol).
To find out which symbol makes the statement "-5 ? -8" true, you need to determine the relationship between -5 and -8.
Since -5 is greater than -8, we can use the "> symbol" to indicate this relationship. The ">" symbol represents the "greater than" comparison operator.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. >
