Which line from the excerpt expresses fact rather than opinion?
Read the excerpt from the introduction for "On Becoming
an Inventor" by Dean Kamen
Invention is predominantly individualistic. Everything...
comes from the lone worker who follows the fleeting
inspiration of a moment and finally does something that
has not been done before.
This quote is from the inventor of a three-phase motor,
Nikola Tesla. It fits the description in every respect of
Dean Kamen, the owner of more than one hundred
patents
As a young teenager in Rockville Center, New York, one
of four children, whose father was a comic book artist
and his mother a schoolteacher, Dean started tinkering
with sound and light boxes in his bedroom, which
caused lights to go off and on, and deafening sound to
come from his radio," said his mother.
"Everything...comes from the lone worker who
follows the fleeting inspiration of a moment and finally
does something that has not been done before."
It fits the description in every respect of Dean Kamen,
the owner of more than one hundred patents.
Their indulgent parents allowed Dean and his older
brother Barton to experiment...
This led to his first patent and a sizable financial
reward while still in high school

the use supports it by making it seem like the dictators are not bad to the people when the truly are.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
