Question

Which most supports the idea that the excerpt is an opinion? It contains information and ideas that can be proven using objective evidence. It contains a situation that has not actually occurred and is purely hypothetical. It contains the word “universally,” which suggests a judgment has been made. It contains the word “knows,” which suggests that the evidence can be proven.

Answer 1

I believe the excerpt for this problem is the excerpt from the article "Mrs. Hossack's Parting Plea." The excerpt is as follows:

“It is universally believed at Indianola that if Mrs. Hossack did not murder her husband she knows who did.“

Containing the word “universally,” which suggests a judgment has been made most supports the idea that the excerpt is an opinion.
