Resposta esperada

Model answer: 1) "River levels rose by 15 centimeters after the weekend storms." — This is factual because it gives a measurable change (15 cm) tied to a specific event and can be verified by hydrological data. 2) "Rescue teams evacuated 12 families from low-lying houses." — This is factual because it reports a counted action (12 families evacuated) that authorities or logs can confirm. The editorial comment about the plan is an opinion because it evaluates management rather than stating verifiable data.

Explicação

A explicação identifica duas declarações que podem ser verificadas por dados concretos, como medições de níveis de água e ações documentadas de evacuação. Essas informações são baseadas em eventos específicos e quantificáveis, diferenciando-se de opiniões que expressam julgamentos ou avaliações. A clareza na distinção entre fatos e opiniões é essencial para a análise crítica de informações.
