"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."
Answer:
The stars represent fate, and a romeo is challenging fate’s apparent decree.
Explanation:
First of all, the other answers are very literal and that’s not what english class is about. Second, in Romeo and Juliet, everything is trying to keep them apart. There is distance between them and their families are holding them back from one another. It seems like fpthere have been many obstacles put by fate, trying to show them that they shouldn’t be together. but since romeo loves juliet so passionately, he’s telling the stars, which represent fate, that he’ll defy them. the reason the stars represent fate is because of the phrase that goes “it was written in the stars.”
