Explanation:

1. The underlined statements are opinions. The first underlined statement began with the phrase. "I think". This implies a personal opinion.

2. The underlined statements were made in reference to the Southeast  Asian Education system which mostly affected their students.

3. An opinion is a person's view of a matter which is not necessarily based on facts. It is an opinion when the feelings or emotions of a person on certain issues are stated without proving  them with facts, data, and statistics.

4. Yes, it is possible to give an opinion without basis. From the definition, an opinion is just a statement of one's feelings which could be correct or incorrect. It is also not necessarily supported by verifiable proof.

5. I think the article clearly expressed the dilemma that plagued not just Southeast Asia, but also the whole world in the year 2020 after the emergence of the pandemic. While that year came with many challenges, it also helped educators to think more deeply of effective ways to make learning methods more diverse.  As a result, students could now learn through several electronic means without having to be physically present with their instructors.
