Question

can you tell the difference between a fact and an opinion? imagine some students are making statements about different events in history. read each statement and then choose the one that is a fact, rather than an opinion. check your understanding - question 1 of 2 attempt 1 of 2 which statement is a fact?

Explanation:

A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false through evidence. The statement "The internal combustion engine was invented during the Second Industrial Revolution" can be verified with historical records. In contrast, "The Second Industrial Revolution was the most important event of the 19th century" is an opinion because "most important" is subjective and cannot be objectively proven.

Answer:

The internal combustion engine was invented during the Second Industrial Revolution.
