Answer:

The correct answer is It describes a turning point in George and Emily's romance.

Indeed, at this point Emily and George are already in love, yet George has plans to go to College and study agriculture which will inevitably separate them, possibly forever. The conflict George and Emily have foreshadows their future separation by death. George, because of his studies and extracurricular activities is drifting apart from all his friends and from Emily. Her criticism of his conceited behavior signifies her pain for the death of their love which foreshadows her actual death during the birth of their child three years later. George, touched deeply by her love for him decides that their love might seem less important than his educational and professional perspectives but because it is as unique as life itself it deserves to be preserved and renounces his ambitions. Had he gone through with his plans their separation would have likely been certain and permanent. The tragic paradox is that their love survives but it is short and precious as their short life together, yet it is worth saving.

Which statement is an opinion supported by a fact? Georgia O'Keeffe was an American painter who famously painted desert landscap
Lerok [7]

Answer:

C). Georgia O'Keeffe was a great artist, and she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1962.

Explanation:

An opinion is characterized as 'a subjective belief, judgment, or perspective that an individual has formed about a specific topic, issue, person, or thing' while a fact is described as 'an objective consensus on a fundamental reality that has been agreed upon by a substantial number of experts.' An opinion may or may not be true and requires sufficient evidence or facts to establish it while a fact is an ultimate reality.

As per the question, the third statement correctly displays an opinion that is backed by a fact. It <u>shows the common belief of people that Keefe had been a wonderful artist which is supported by the factual evidence of 'her induction into Arts and Letters Academy in the year 1962' which validates the truth of the opinion</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
