Question

fact means :
an impression, especially one that is contrived
an opinion formed critically
a piece of information about events that have occurred

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "fact", we analyze each option:

• The first option describes a contrived impression, not a fact.
• The second refers to an opinion, while a fact is not an opinion.
• The third option defines a fact as information about past events, which aligns with the standard definition of a fact (something that has actually happened or is true).
• The fourth option describes an ideal or belief, not a fact.

C. a piece of information about events that have occurred
