<span>1-The fastest land dwelling

<span>Fact. This is fact because it can be verified.</span>
2-the ugliest sea creature is
the manatee.
<span>Opinion. Because opinions vary and beauty (or
ugliness) is relative, perspectives on what is considered “ugly” will vary.</span>
3-prison is one of the worst
places on the planet.
<span>Opinion. This is a relative thought. To some, prison might be considered a good
place. In fact, there are instances
where convicts cannot function in society after a long prison term and commit
crimes to be returned to prison because society has become a bad place—a place
where hardships outweigh those they faced in prison.</span>

<span>NOTE: When trying to determine whether something is
a fact or an opinion, just be sure to keep in mind that if the statement can be
proven, it is fact; if the statement cannot be proven, it must be an opinion.</span>
Your question is missing the instructions and the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the following sentence, selecting the most appropriate word from the given choices to fill the gap. His preparations for the Olympic Games had been very thorough. He had been training
intrinsically
ostensibly
systematically
predominantly
for months.
Answer:
The best way to complete the sentence is with "systematically".
Explanation:
First, let's see what each adverb means:
intrinsically -- essentially; naturally.
ostensibly -- apparently; seemingly.
systematically -- methodically; completely; detailedly.
predominantly -- mostly; mainly; chiefly.
Now, let's use a little bit of logic. As we all know, an athlete who prepares to compete at the Olympic Games does so completely. He/she trains constantly, absolutely focused, for months, sometimes even years. They have a systematic training, that is, they practice in a methodical, fixed, disciplined manner. Therefore, the best option is "systematically".
- His preparations for the Olympic Games had been very thorough. He had been training systematically for months.
The answer is c. A restatement in your own words; I think of it as a summary. Comes from Greek, meaning to modify the way something is told.
