Question

which sentence states a fact?
the typical length of a burmese python is sixteen to twenty-three feet.
parents should not allow their children to keep burmese pythons as pets.

Explanation:

A fact is a verifiable statement based on evidence, while an opinion expresses a judgment or recommendation. The first sentence about the typical length of a Burmese python can be confirmed through biological data, making it a fact. The second sentence uses "should," indicating a value-based recommendation (an opinion).

Answer:

The typical length of a Burmese python is sixteen to twenty-three feet.
