The inequality statement "-2 < -5" indicates that -2 is greater than -5.
To correctly complete the statement:
-2 is greater than -5, but a loss of 5 points is a greater loss than a loss of 2 points.
This reflects that losing fewer points is a smaller loss (less negative) compared to losing more points.
