解析
【分析】
首先明确区分事实(Fact)和观点(Opinion)的核心:事实是可通过客观证据(如历史资料、科学常识、官方记录等)验证真伪的陈述;观点是带有主观评价、感受或判断,无法通过客观证据绝对证明的内容。再逐个分析句子:1句中“best”是主观评价,无统一验证标准;2句内容可通过历史资料验证;3句是生物学常识可验证;4句中“worst”是主观评价;5句中“wrong”是主观道德判断,据此判断属性。
【解析】
判断依据:区分事实与观点的关键是陈述是否具有可验证性——能通过客观证据确定真假的是事实,属于个人主观评价、无法客观验证的是观点。具体分析:
1. “Sunday is the best day of the week”中“best”是主观个人评价,无客观验证标准,为Opinion;
2. “George Washington was the first president of the United States”有明确历史文献等客观证据支持,可验证为真,为Fact;
3. “Dogs need water and food to survive”是生物学基本常识,可通过科学观察验证,为Fact;
4. “Prison is one of the worst places on the planet”中“worst”是主观评价,不同人感受不同,无法客观证明,为Opinion;
5. “It’s wrong for people under the age of 21 to drink alcohol”中“wrong”是主观道德判断,无统一客观标准,为Opinion。
