Answer 1

Which one do you think is the correct answer?

Answer 2

Answer 4

I don't know, sorry, Aurey might though :)

Answer 5

It's okay, thanks for trying. :) @Luigi0210

Answer 6

Sorry, my computer was lagging!
You're correct that C can be eliminated.. what else?
Also, try distinguishing between fact vs. opinion, start off from the basics even if you think it won't help, it will in this problem. It may seem that two/three answers may be the one, but that isn't the case :)

Answer 7

Facts sometimes include stats when trying to support themselves.

Answer 8

It's quite alright. Thank you for coming back. :)
Okay, then am I right to also think B is not the correct choice here?

Answer 9

Yup :)

Answer 10

Sweet!

Answer 11

I'm a bit split between A or D but I think D is our safest bet.

Answer 12

To me, D seems like an observation and A looks like a hypothesis.

Answer 13

Both seem like observations to me. Go with your gut answer then :)

Answer 14

So, I think I will go with D as that was what that "gut feeling" told me to go with from the start. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Answer 15

Thanks :)
