Explanation:
These are the statements that can be considered facts. Facts are objective statements that describe reality. The most important quality of facts is that they are falsifiable. This means that facts can be proven to be right or wrong. Facts are usually contrasted with opinions. Opinions are thoughts that a person has, but that are not necessarily shared by others. Moreover, opinions are not objectively right or wrong, they are subjective, as they express the unique point of view of a person, and depend on this for legitimacy.
