After the last afternoon classes end, more teenagers enter the library in the fictional town of Northgate. A local newspaper editorial discusses a 12-week pilot that kept the central branch open until 8 p.m. on weekdays. During the pilot, weekly visits rose from 1,200 to 1,560. In a survey of 300 users, 186 said that the later hours allowed them to study or borrow books after school or work. The city spent an additional $4,000 on staff and electricity. The editorial argues that the schedule should continue, because the extra cost is manageable when compared with the number of residents using the service. A council vote on the future of the pilot is expected next month.

Analyze the information and identify the claim that should be treated as an opinion rather than as factual information.

Can a bus stop change how people move around a town? In a fictional local newspaper, an editorial supports a covered terminal near the market. The transport office recorded 1,240 passengers at the current stop during the previous month, and 37% of them waited in rain at least once. The council budget reserves $18,000 for street improvements. The writer argues that building the terminal is the wisest use of this money because it would make public transport more welcoming. A resident disagrees, saying that the terminal could increase traffic on market days.

Identify the sentence that, like the editorial's central position, presents a judgment that cannot be proved only by checking records.

Can a city make walking safer without treating every scooter rider as a problem? The following fictional editorial from the Harbor Gazette discusses a proposal requiring rental e-scooters to be left in painted parking zones. It reports that the transport office counted 184 blocked sidewalks during a six-week survey and that 61% of these cases occurred on three central avenues. The proposal would add 40 zones near bus stops. Using these figures, the writer argues that riders should keep access to scooters, while companies should pay for the zones and remove badly parked vehicles within two hours. The editorial says this measure would protect pedestrians and preserve an affordable travel option. It also calls the plan “the only sensible answer for a modern city,” without comparing it with other possible policies.

Analyze the editorial’s use of evidence and judgment. Identify the claim that readers should treat mainly as an opinion, rather than as information that can be checked.

Can a city sound welcoming without changing its language? As Porto Azul prepares for a week-long international street-art festival, the local newspaper The Harbor Post supported a decision to add English to public notices. City hall says it will print 12,000 bilingual maps and update 85 bus-stop signs; the contract is estimated at 18,000 reais. During a small test last month, the tourism office reported a drop in “lost visitor” phone calls from 40 to 22 per week. Some residents worry that English on signs is unnecessary and that locals will feel like strangers in their own streets. The editorial answers that visitors who cannot read Portuguese should not be left guessing and describes the change as a “basic act of respect”, especially when public money already funds the festival.

Analyze the editorial excerpt and identify the claim that expresses an opinion rather than a verifiable fact.
