Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.48 Fact vs. Opinion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Four claims appear in a report: A. The North Haven bus route added two new stops this fall. B. The city budget report lists $2.3 million for road repairs. C. The river water tested at 6.8 pH last week at the main bridge. D. The new bus route is the smartest decision the city has ever made.

Which claim is an opinion because it cannot be proven true or false in the same way?

AThe city budget report lists $2.3 million for road repairs.

BThe new bus route is the smartest decision the city has ever made.

CThe river water tested at 6.8 pH last week at the main bridge.

DThe North Haven bus route added two new stops this fall.

Solution & Explanation:The last claim is a value judgment (“smartest decision”). The other claims can be checked using records (route maps, budgets, or test data). To verify a factual claim, look for a reliable source that directly records or measures the information.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

At Clear Bay Middle School, students planned a science night. According to the sign-in sheet, 494 people attended. Volunteers collected 52 bags of donations. After the event, a student wrote, “Because the turnout was high, this was a perfect event that the school should repeat every month.” A summary posted on the school website said 34% of attendees filled out a feedback form.

Which part of the passage is an opinion mixed with facts?

A“34% of attendees filled out a feedback form.”

B“494 people attended.”

C“Because the turnout was high, this was a perfect event that the school should repeat every month.”

D“Volunteers collected 52 bags of donations.”

Solution & Explanation:The student’s sentence includes judgment words (“perfect”) and a recommendation (“should repeat”). The other choices are checkable facts (counts or percentages). To verify a factual claim, look for a reliable source that directly records or measures the information.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Sentence: “The Clear Bay playground is safer now.”

Which added information would make the claim easiest to verify?

AInclude specific safety measures and data, such as inspection scores before and after changes

BAdd “everyone knows” to the end

CAdd the word “really” to show the writer means it

DAdd “in my opinion” at the beginning

Solution & Explanation:To verify ‘safer,’ you need measurable evidence (inspection results, injury reports, safety features). The other choices only change tone, not evidence.
