Hello! To try and evaluate this question, we must first understand what a fact and an opinion is.
A fact is a statement that is true across all grounds. An example would be, 'The grass is green.'

A opinion is a statement that is not true across all grounds. It can depend on the person's viewpoint or beliefs. An example would be, 'I think my shoes look very nice today.'

In the adapted paragraph, let's decipher if they are a statement of fact or opinion.

1. 'I like summer most of all' : Is this statement a belief or viewpoint? Do you know that you like summer most of all? Perhaps you don't. Perhaps your neighbor hates summer actually. Since this statement reflects the author's viewpoint that summer is their favorite season, this is an opinion.

2. 'People can do lots of things during summer.' : Is this statement a belief? This is harder to distinguish, but I believe it's a fact. Not everyone can do everything over the summer and since the author uses the word 'can', they know that there is that possibility of being able to do things during summer, it can be a fact since it only focuses on a select amount of people.

3. 'Others like playing outdoor games.' : This is an opinion because not everyone likes to play outdoor games. Even in the summer, there may be children running around to read books inside.

4. 'Everybody waits for summer.' : Opinion, because not everyone waits for summer and this is a belief that the author holds that isn't exactly truthful.

5. 'Some families stay home and have some fun doing summer activities while others spend their summer in other places on a vacation.' : This is surprisingly a fact, because it does not generalize everyone and says a fact about SOME families doing this sort of lifestyle during the summer.

40 POINTS FOR ONE QUESTION
Excerpt from The Alchemist by Paul Coelho

The hills of Andalusia were only two hours away, but there was an entire desert between him and the Pyramids. Yet the boy felt that there was another way to regard his situation: he was actually two hours closer to his treasure… the fact that the two hours had stretched into an entire year didn't matter.

By contrasting the pyramids of the desert with the hills of Andalusia, the author emphasizes the beauty of the boy's homeland.


By showing how much time has passed and how far the boy has to travel to realize his goal, the author emphasizes the boy's journey.


By comparing how long it took the boy to get to the desert with how long it took him to become a shepherd, the author emphasizes the slow passage of time.


By expressing the boy's frustration, the author expresses the boy's fear that he has made a mistake.

Matt is moving into a new bedroom. He has four pieces of furniture to move: a chair (no big deal), a bed (which has to be taken apart), a dresser (really heavy), a desk (also heavy) and a couch (awkward, but surprisingly light). Matt has to plan out how he will move everything in. The bed must go in first, as it has to be taken apart to fit through the doorway. (Plus it will be easier to put the bed back together if it's the only thing in the room.) After the bed is in, the heavy stuff should follow. Then the awkward stuff. The chair can go in anytime after the bed.

Which choice lists the furniture in an order in which Matt could successfully move into his new bedroom?

A
couch, desk, bed, chair, dresser

B
chair, bed, desk, dresser, couch

C
bed, couch, chair, desk, dresser

D
bed, chair, dresser, couch, desk

E
bed, desk, chair, dresser, couch

Read the excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

Driving around the parks that encircle Washington, he solicited customers with a simple pitch: early in the morning, he would deliver some bagels and a cash basket to company’s snack room; he would return before lunch to pick up the money and the leftovers. It was an honor-system commerce scheme, and it worked. Within a few years, Feldman was delivering 8,400 bagels a week to 140 companies and earning as much as he had ever made as a research analyst. He had thrown off the shackles of cubicle life and made himself happy.

Most of us are unfamiliar with the words of the song "Hail to the Chief," but chances are, we all know the melody when we hear it. For more than a hundred years, this song has been played to introduce the President of the United States at ceremonies and other formal gatherings. And yet, despite its traditional use, the song didn't originate in America. Instead, it is widely believed that the melody of the song was borrowed from an English musical play entitled "The Lady of the Lake," which itself was adapted from a poem by Sir Walter Scott, a Scottish writer. The play was staged in America in the first part of the 19th Century, and soon after, the song "Hail to the Chief," which bore a melodic resemblance to the music of the play, was used to honor none other than George Washington. From there, it was used at several presidential inaugurations, and during the term of Harry Truman, it was designated the official tribute to the President. Which sentence would make the best concluding statement for this passage?
