1. the correct spelling us "greater" :)
2. The answer is D.
to get the greater number, you want the smaller fraction since they are negative. 1/4 is less that 5/16, we can test this by multiplying 4×4 to get 16 and 1×4 to get 4. 4/16 is smaller than 5/16. after adding the negative signs, -1/4 is actually greater than -5/16.
