Let's evaluate each statement:

A. |–5| < |5|
- |–5| = 5 and |5| = 5, so 5 < 5 is false.

B. 0 > |–3|
- |–3| = 3, so 0 > 3 is false.

C. |–5| > |3|
- |–5| = 5 and |3| = 3, so 5 > 3 is true.

D. |–5| < |3|
- |–5| = 5 and |3| = 3, so 5 < 3 is false.

The only true statement is:
**C. |–5| > |3|**

Yes, let's recap the evaluations step by step once more to confirm the correct answer:

1. **A. |–5| < |5|**
- |–5| = 5 and |5| = 5.
- The statement says 5 < 5, which is false.

2. **B. 0 > |–3|**
- |–3| = 3.
- The statement says 0 > 3, which is false.

3. **C. |–5| > |3|**
- |–5| = 5 and |3| = 3.
- The statement says 5 > 3, which is true.

4. **D. |–5| < |3|**
- |–5| = 5 and |3| = 3.
- The statement says 5 < 3, which is false.

Thus, after re-evaluating each statement, the only true statement is **C. |–5| > |3|**. Thank you for your patience!

Yes, you are correct! Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.

To clarify the absolute values:
- The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.

For the problem you provided, here’s the breakdown specifically regarding absolute values:

- **|–5| = 5** (the absolute value of -5 is 5)
- **|5| = 5**
- **|–3| = 3**
- **|3| = 3**

When we consider the comparison of absolute values:
- Comparing |–5| and |3|:
- Since |–5| = 5 and |3| = 3, we have 5 > 3. Thus, **|–5| > |3|** is true.

So, my previous response stands: **C. |–5| > |3|** is indeed the true statement among the options. Thank you for pointing that out, and I'm here to help with any further questions!

To find the change in temperature, you subtract the morning temperature from the afternoon temperature:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = \text{Afternoon temperature} - \text{Morning temperature}
\]

Given:
- Morning temperature = -2 degrees
- Afternoon temperature = 21 degrees

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Change in temperature} = 21 - (-2) = 21 + 2 = 23 \text{ degrees}
\]

So the change in temperature is **23 degrees**.

The correct answer is:
**A. 23 degrees**.
