Resposta esperada

Model answer: 1) Fact: "the new community pool opened on Saturday" — This reports a concrete event with a date; it can be checked against records. 2) Fact: "welcomed 1,250 visitors on its first day" — This gives a specific numerical claim from city records that is verifiable. 3) Opinion: "the best thing our community has seen in years" — This is a personal judgment by a blogger, not verifiable and expressed with evaluative language.

Explicação

A identificação das afirmações como fatos ou opiniões baseia-se na possibilidade de verificação. Fatos são informações que podem ser confirmadas por dados ou registros, enquanto opiniões refletem julgamentos pessoais e não podem ser objetivamente comprovadas. A clareza na distinção entre esses tipos de declarações é essencial para a análise crítica de textos.
