Let's start by using matching operations (my favorite Quantitative Comparison strategy) to get the m's in one quantity, and get the n's in the other quantity

Given:
Quantity A: m - n
Quantity B: n - m

Add n to both quantities to get:
Quantity A: m
Quantity B: 2n - m

Add m to both quantities to get:
Quantity A: 2m
Quantity B: 2n

Divide both quantities by 2 to get:
Quantity A: m
Quantity B: n

Since we are told that m is a NEGATIVE integer and n is a NON-NEGATIVE integer, we can be certain that Quantity B is greater

Answer: B
