Let us assume that the cubes are numbered from 1 to 6 in their six faces.



When these two cubes are rolled, the possible values could be,



(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)



(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)



(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)



(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)



(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)



(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)



Total possibilities are 36.



Now the sum of the numbers are either 4 or 10. Those numbers are



(1,3) (2,2) (3,1) -> this sums to 6



(4,6) (5,5) (6,4) -> this sums to 8



Total possibilities of getting sum 4 or 10 is 6.



So, the possibility of getting sum of or from a pair of rolled cubes is



6/36 = 1/6

Which answer is best represented by the highlighted text?.
Schach [20]

Answer:

B. Fact

Explanation:

The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>

The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."

So, this explains the answer.
