Answer 20

Okay. (You seem to love the screen writing thing...)

The opposite of a fact, in a literary sense, is an opinion. So, these parts from the text, "walking briskly" or "cold air" would be opinions, because different people have ddifferent views on what's cold or brisk...

Wait, where's that question?

If you removed the last one asking which one was not completely factual, then ignore me.
