Distinguish Absolute Value From Order Practice Test

A student says, “Because $|-9|>|4|$, it must be true that $-9>4$.” Which choice correctly describes what is true and why? (Absolute value compares distance from 0; order compares which number is greater.)

In a school fundraiser, one class is at $-11$ (they still need 11 more items to reach a goal) and another class is at $6$ (they are 6 items above the goal). Which statement correctly compares the numbers $-11$ and $6$ by absolute value and by order?
