Which of the following statements is a claim of fact? a. it is wrong to publicly display a monument on government property when it only pays tribute to a single ethnic group. b. the greystone monument has been located in the downtown square for over seventy years. c. the town council absolutely should not move the greystone monument to a private location. d. the recent protests downtown were because the greystone monument is racist.

Hey there!

Your answer is B.

This is because B, unlike the others, provides a fact with no opinion. The others say things like "it is wrong" or "absolutely should not", providing their opinion. B only states a fact and no more input on the matter.

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is B.

There are three types of claims:

- Claims of fact. They assert that a certain condition has existed, exists and will exist and they rely on factual information for support.

- Claims of value. They make a judgement, they approve or disapprove, attempting to prove that some action, belief or fact is right or wrong.

- Claims of policy. They argue that certain conditions should exist and advocate adoption of policies.

The example B is a statement of fact because it is based on factual information ( the time the monument has been located ), and it does not make any judgement about the monument as such.

the answer would either be a or d

i hope this

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
