Question

classify the following statement. i have worked in law enforcement for over thirty years and i can tell you without a doubt that people between the ages of 15 and 24 are more likely to get arrested than any other age group. a. opinion b. lie c. fact d. informed opinion please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

An informed opinion is based on knowledge or experience. The speaker has 30 + years in law enforcement, so their statement about 15 - 24 - year - olds being more likely to be arrested is an informed opinion. It's not a fact (no data like arrest rates per age group is provided), not a lie (no indication of falsehood), and more than a basic opinion (due to professional experience).

Answer:

D. informed opinion
