Answer 4

You can have a look at this page for some examples: http://www.auburn.edu/~murraba/fact.html

Here I reproduce some part of that page for you:

According to Webster's Dictionary a fact is "anything that is done or happens; anything actually existent; any statement strictly true; truth; reality."

"
Three examples of facts that are concrete and that could be documented include:
[...]
Whereas an opinion is defined as "indicating a belief, view, sentiment, conception."
"

Here comes another helpful hint from another website that I am directly quoting for you:

"
To see if something is a fact, ask yourself,
“Can this statement be proved?

To check for opinions, ask yourself,
“Does this tell a thought or feeling?”
“Would the statement be true all of the time?”

Look for clue words such as
feel, believe, always, never, none,
most, least, best, and worst
