Resposta esperada

Model answer — Factual: 1) 'the river’s pollution level rose by 14% this year' — a measurable claim verifiable with environmental data; 2) 'The mayor promises a cleanup plan' — a public statement or commitment that can be confirmed. Opinion: 1) 'many residents argue that the city failed to act responsibly' — an evaluative view reflecting people's judgment; 2) 'critics call it inadequate' — a subjective assessment, not a verifiable fact.

Explicação

A classificação das afirmações se baseia na possibilidade de verificação. As declarações factuais são baseadas em dados mensuráveis ou compromissos públicos, enquanto as opiniões refletem julgamentos pessoais ou avaliações que não podem ser confirmadas objetivamente. Essa distinção é fundamental para entender a diferença entre informações objetivas e subjetivas em um texto.
