Resposta esperada

Model answer — Facts: 1) "The school lunch program served 1,200 meals last month." (verifiable numeric attendance). 2) "Received a health inspection score of 92%." (verifiable inspection result). Opinions: 1) "Parents say the food is unhealthy." (evaluative language; "unhealthy" is a judgment). 2) "The menu choices are poor." (value judgment about quality). Classification relies on whether the statement can be checked with evidence (fact) or expresses evaluation/belief (opinion).

Explicação

A resposta identifica claramente dois fatos que podem ser verificados através de dados concretos, como números e resultados de inspeção. As opiniões são reconhecidas por seu caráter avaliativo, refletindo julgamentos pessoais sobre a qualidade da comida e das opções do cardápio. Essa distinção entre dados verificáveis e avaliações subjetivas é fundamental para a análise crítica de informações.
