One of the mental changes young adults experience is a better sense of identity. True or False?
Alecsey [184]
Yes, this is true!

One of the reasons why this is true is that the person starts to be independent then, so they no longer describe themselves with respect to their parents.

Another reason is that they by this time have developed personal characteristics upon which they can base their identity.

Which statement about an opinion is false?
pickupchik [31]
Actually, I would argue that to some extend all of them are true:

An opinion is a personal view or attitude.
-this is definitely true, it's basically a definition of an opinion

An opinion is often indicated by the use of adjectives.
-this is true! for example "my teacher is nice"

An opinion is often used as evidence in a news article.
-this is the weakest statement (but I think that it's still not false). I would however choose this as the right answer: opinion is not an evidence for anything except this opinion ( so it's valid for example for the news of "the president thinks that" if the opinion is that of the president.

An opinion has the potential to promote bias. - this is true!
