Solution

False
Here, to compare $\frac{- 3}{4}$ and - 2
First, we do same denominator
We get, $- \frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{- 2 \times 4}{1 \times 4}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{- 3}{4}$ and $\frac{- 8}{4}$
Now, comparing both numbers,
$\frac{- 3}{4} > \frac{- 8}{4} \Rightarrow \frac{- 3}{4} > - 2$
So, $- \frac{3}{4}$ is greater than -2
