when it says 'factual statement' it doesn't mean 'true statement'
It means a statement based in facts, as opposed to opinions.
I don't believe in borders therefor it's an opinion that obama was born in the US
checkmate test
haha
The only one I got wrong is I put that "ISIS lost a significant portion of its territory in Iraq and Syria in 2017." as opinion
because what is or isn't significant is opinion
Do I have brain problems?
I mean, probably not?
If it just said "lost a portion" I'd have put fact, but I still feel that "significant portion" makes it opinion
I think the lost territory makes it factual.
You can prove that or not.
You can't prove it's a significant amount
Maybe I believe that the only significant amount is 90%+ and they only lost 80%
I can kinda see your point
And I think it was an error on approach.
Now try the superior version. http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/factsopinions/
10/10. 😁
either that or statistically speaking you're a low down democrat. Surely that's not the case, right?
(I actually had to scroll through the scene because there exist no screenshots of that face....)
AHA
10/10
I still say that my 9/10 is the superior score
Nope
90% is mostly all
Significant just means a large portion
I'd say that's 50 to 90 %
So it wouldn't be a significant portion if it were 49%?
I'd consider that a significant portion of anything
Well, that too
Okay, I'd say....30 to 80?
If America lost 10% of its land to Mexico would that be insignificant?
The problem here is that there *is* no concrete number that people could agree on as significant. That makes it opinion.
oh i got 10/10
@Schedrevka that would be insignificant, yes
I'm taking this up with the teacher and getting all of your grades lowered
On the international scale, 10% isnt significant
Same with ISIS
I **REALLY** don't think most people would agree with you that it'd be insignificant for Mexico to take a whole state away
