Let me work through this step by step.
The task asks students to identify whether each sentence is a FACT (F) or an OPINION (O).
Key difference:
- A
FACT is something that can be proven true or false with evidence
- An
OPINION is what someone thinks, feels, or believes - it cannot be proven
Let me check each answer:
1. "I think the newborn baby is absolutely adorable." - This uses "I think" and "adorable" which is a personal feeling →
O ✓
2. "The pig in the pen at the farm is pink and muddy." - This describes observable characteristics that can be verified →
F ✓
3. "I really hate spiders because they are big and scary." - Uses "I really hate" and "scary" which are feelings/opinions →
O ✓
4. "The letter E comes after the letter D in the alphabet." - This can be verified by looking at the alphabet →
F ✓
5. "Broccoli is the most disgusting food in the world." - "Most disgusting" is a personal opinion →
O ✓
6. "Canberra is the capital city of Australia." - This is verifiable information →
F ✓
7. "Most cats have whiskers, a tail, and two ears." - This is a factual statement about cats that can be verified →
F ✓
8. "Winter is the best season out of all the seasons." - "Best" is a personal preference →
O ✓
9. "There is no milk left in the refrigerator." - This can be checked/verified →
F ✓
10. "Everyone knows that chocolate is better than ice cream." - "Better" is an opinion, and "everyone knows" doesn't make it a fact →
O ✓
