Step-by-step solution for: Fact and Opinion Worksheet 6 | Reading Activity
The image you've uploaded is an answer key for a "Fact and Opinion Worksheet 6." It provides the correct classifications (either "Fact" or "Opinion") for 12 statements, along with explanations for each. Below is a breakdown and explanation of how to interpret this answer key:
---
- Fact: A statement that can be proven true or false using evidence (e.g., records, data, observation).
- Opinion: A personal belief, feeling, or judgment that cannot be objectively proven.
---
Let’s go through each item and explain why it's classified as a fact or opinion:
1. Fact
*Ex: This can be proven with historical documents.*
→ Statements supported by verifiable records (like archives) are facts.
2. Opinion
*Ex: Some people might believe that dancing is dangerous.*
→ "Might believe" indicates subjective perception; danger depends on individual views.
3. Fact
*Ex: One only needs to view these movies to demonstrate these statements.*
→ If the truth can be verified by watching videos (objective evidence), it's a fact.
4. Fact
*Ex: This can be proven with historical records.*
→ Again, reliance on documented history makes it factual.
5. Opinion
*Ex: Some people might believe that hip hop dancing requires more training.*
→ “Might believe” shows it's a subjective view; no objective standard defines "more training."
6. Opinion
*Ex: Some people believe that dancing is a real sport.*
→ Whether dancing is a "real sport" is debatable and based on personal values.
7. Fact
*Ex: This can be demonstrated by attempting to perform the Tango alone.*
→ The impossibility of solo tango due to its partnered nature can be tested directly—so it's a fact.
8. Fact
*Ex: Hospital records support this fact.*
→ Medical records provide measurable, objective data → fact.
9. Opinion
*Ex: Some people might believe that hip hop dancing is more respectable.*
→ "Respectable" is a value judgment; varies from person to person.
10. Fact
*Ex: This can be proven through world records.*
→ World records (e.g., Guinness) are official sources of verification → fact.
11. Opinion
*Ex: Some people might have more fun dancing alone.*
→ "More fun" is subjective and based on personal preference.
12. Fact
*Ex: This can be proven with historical records.*
→ Once again, proof via documented history confirms it as a fact.
