Answer 2
Answer:

1-The fastest land dwellingcreature is the Cheetah.

Fact.  This is fact because it can be verified.

 

2-the ugliest sea creature isthe manatee.

Opinion.  Because opinions vary and beauty (orugliness) is relative, perspectives on what is considered “ugly” will vary.

 

3-prison is one of the worstplaces on the planet.

Opinion.  This is a relative thought.  To some, prison might be considered a goodplace.  In fact, there are instanceswhere convicts cannot function in society after a long prison term and commitcrimes to be returned to prison because society has become a bad place—a placewhere hardships outweigh those they faced in prison.


4-Oranges contain both calciumand vitamin C.

Fact.  This is something that can be tested andverified as true.

 

NOTE:  When trying to determine whether something isa fact or an opinion, just be sure to keep in mind that if the statement can beproven, it is fact; if the statement cannot be proven, it must be an opinion.
