It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Fact vs. Opinion" that asks students to identify whether each statement is a
fact or an
opinion.
Since I can't view images directly, I'll provide a general explanation of how to solve this type of problem and then walk through a typical example based on the format of such worksheets.

🔍 Understanding Fact vs. Opinion
-
Fact: A statement that can be proven true or false using evidence (e.g., numbers, dates, observations).
- Example: "The Earth revolves around the Sun." → This is a fact because it's scientifically proven.
-
Opinion: A personal belief, feeling, or judgment that cannot be proven true or false.
- Example: "Pizza is the best food in the world." → This is an opinion because it’s subjective.

✔ How to Solve the Worksheet
For each sentence:
1. Ask: *"Can this be proven with evidence?"*
- If
yes → It's a
fact.
- If
no → It's an
opinion.
2. Look for
subjective words like:
- "best", "worst", "should", "I think", "I believe", "in my opinion"
- These often signal an opinion.
3. Look for
objective details like:
- Dates, names, measurements, events
- These often signal a fact.
