"Café Olympia serves coffee from all over the world" (B) states a fact rather than an opinion.
When writing essays for school, or researching information to support your writing, it is important to be able to stay factual and avoid stating opinions (unless you are specifically asked to do it, or unless you explicitly mention that you are quoting a biased work).
These characteristics should help you identify an <u>opinion</u>:
- appreciation verbs like <em>enjoy</em>, <em>hate</em>, <em>wish</em>, <em>believe, </em>etc.
- adjectives expressing value judgement like <em>best</em>, <em>good</em>, <em>bad</em>, <em>favorite</em>, <em>disappointing</em>, <em>fascinating</em>, <em>boring</em>, etc.
- clear involvement of the narrator, for example when the subject is <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.
Conversely, a <u>factual</u> statement usually has:
- a distanced narrator, who does not get involved
- information which can be checked, like in answer B: "coffee from all over the world."

Today when I was going to school, I saw some kids bullying a defenseless kitten. It was alone and desperately crying for its mother. The kids were scaring it, jumping near it, or passing it through the air from one kid to the other. I got mad and stepped in front of the kitten, and in an angry tone, I told them to leave the kitten alone. As I was older than them, they immediately obeyed me. When I came back from school, I picked it. Now it lives with me.
Explanation:
In a diary entry, a person writes about an experience, feelings, things that he or she likes or dislikes, goals, reflections, and problems. It usually has a date. The entries can be daily or sporadically, every person has a different way to use a diary, and they are not to share with other people.
As regards the language, it is informal. The entry can be directed to the diary, starting with dear diary, as if it was a letter, or it can be a narrative where the person writes about an experience or thoughts.
