In Arizona, spring is the most beautiful time of year. The temperature usually ranges from sixty-five to ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Statistics show that the sun shines 89 percent of the time during the
spring days.

Birds love Arizona in the spring. Children laugh and play, and families get together for picnics. Thousands of people like
to go to the lake to water ski or swim, while others enjoy driving to the forest-covered mountains to camp and fish.

List at least one statement from each of the two paragraphs that is an opinion rather than a provable fact.

first paragraph:

second paragraph:

1. In Arizona, spring is the most beautiful time of year.

2. Birds love Arizona in the spring

Explanation:

An opinion is a subjective belief about a matter that may or may not be true. A provable fact is one that can and has undergone testing and shown to be true.

In the first paragraph, saying that spring is the most beautiful time of the year is a subjective opinion because the fact that it is beautiful for one person does not mean that it is equally beautiful for another.

In the second paragraph, the statement that Birds love Arizona in the spring is also a personal opinion because it is difficult to ascertain the true feelings of the birds. More so, it is not likely that all the species of birds come to Arizona in the spring.

the answer is a.
