1. What is the difference between a fact and an opinion?
 Answer: A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false based on evidence or observation, while an opinion is a personal belief or judgment that may vary from
person to person and cannot be objectively verified.
2. Can you give an example of a fact-based statement?
 Answer: "The Earth revolves around the Sun" is a fact-based statement because it can be verified through scientific evidence and observation.
3. How do you determine if a statement is an opinion?

 Answer: A statement is likely an opinion if it expresses a personal viewpoint, belief, or judgment without objective evidence to support its truthfulness. Opinion statements
often include phrases like "I think," "I believe," or "In my opinion."
4. Why is it important to distinguish between facts and opinions?
 Answer: Distinguishing between facts and opinions is crucial for critical thinking and decision-making. Understanding the difference helps individuals evaluate information
more effectively, recognize biases, and form well-informed opinions based on reliable evidence.
