Detailed Solution

The absolute value of an integer is its numerical value without taking the sign into consideration.
In case of negative integers, this statement is true.
Example: – 3, the absolute value is 3 which is greater than 3.
However, for positive integers, the absolute value and the integer are the same.
Example: 3, the absolute value of 3 is 3, so the absolute value of an integer is not always greater than the integer.
Thus, the statement the absolute value of an integer is always greater than the integer is false.
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
