Explanation:
We need to decide for each sentence whether it is a
fact (something that can be proven true or false) or an
opinion (someone’s personal feeling or belief).
Let’s go one by one:
1. *Flowers need water to grow.*
→ This is true and can be proven by science. Plants need water for photosynthesis and survival.
✔ Fact
2. *Flowers come from seeds.*
→ Most flowers grow from seeds (though some can grow from bulbs, cuttings, etc.), but in basic elementary science, this is taught as a standard life cycle fact. For this grade level, it's considered a
Fact.
3. *The flowers look beautiful!*
→ “Beautiful” is a personal judgment — someone might think they’re ugly. So this is an
Opinion.
4. *There’s many different flowers.*
→ There are indeed thousands of flower species. This is observable and verifiable.
✔ Fact
(Note: “There’s” should be “There are”, but that doesn’t change the truth value.)
5. *Seeds are planted in soil.*
→ While seeds *can* be planted in soil, some grow in water or other media — but again, for early education, planting in soil is the standard method taught. So this is treated as a
Fact.
6. *The sprout looks nice.*
→ “Nice” is subjective — depends on what you like.
✔ Opinion
7. *I love planting flowers.*
→ “I love” shows a personal feeling. Definitely an
Opinion.
8. *Garden tools are helpful.*
→ Helpful is a value judgment — helpful *to whom*? A gardener might say yes, but a child who finds them hard to use might disagree. So this is an
Opinion.
9. *Flowers also bloom on trees.*
→ Yes! Examples: cherry blossoms, magnolias, apple blossoms — all flowers that grow on trees. This is scientifically accurate.
✔ Fact
Now let’s list the correct choices:
1. Fact
2. Fact
3. Opinion
4. Fact
5. Fact
6. Opinion
7. Opinion
