Explanation:

Identify the question context

The visible text at the top ends with "...everyone is properly fed". The options present different statements about government responsibility and food security. This is a standard exercise in distinguishing between facts, value judgments, and subjective/objective statements.

Analyze the options

• Option A: "It's the government's job to make sure we all have enough to eat!" (Informal value judgment/opinion)
• Option B: "Ensuring that the population is properly fed is the government's responsibility." (Formal value judgment/normative statement)
• Option C: "All individuals should be responsible for feeding themselves." (Opposing value judgment/normative statement)
• Option D: "A 2014 study found that 25 percent of the population does not have enough to eat." (Factual statement/empirical claim)

Determine the correct choice

Based on typical rhetorical analysis questions regarding "Fact vs. Value Judgment," Option D is the only statement that represents an empirical, verifiable fact (a claim about what a study found), whereas Options A, B, and C represent value judgments (what "should" be or what a "job/responsibility" is). Therefore, Option D is the factual statement.

Answer:

• A. It's the government's job to make sure we all have enough to eat!
• B. Ensuring that the population is properly fed is the government's responsibility.
• C. All individuals should be responsible for feeding themselves.
• D. A 2014 study found that 25 percent of the population does not have enough to eat. (Correct answer)
