Answer 2

The answer is "Since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

A statement of fact is any statement that can be proven and backed up with real evidence (study, research, observation, etc.), and that is objective, meaning that it is not based on any personal view or belief. The excerpt is a historical fact, and it is precise as it gives exact information of when and where the attack occurred, who provoked it, and to who was directed to. It is not an event based on an opinion as it is backed up with evidence: people saw the attack and the destroyed ships, the deaths, etc.
