Jared is reading an article about the heavy rains that have fallen recently in his town. but he can’t separate the facts from the opinions. which sentences in the article state facts? it’s that time of year again when the days are wet and cool. the rainy season is the best season. rain makes up part of earth’s water cycle. water evaporates from streams, lakes, and oceans, then condensation and precipitation occur in the form of rain. precipitation in the form of rain is better than snow. snow this time of year makes people gloomy. rain is a great boon to local farmers. it their crops grow.

When reading these sentences, we want to find facts, the true things that are a firm understanding of something, and not just something that has NOT be proven, which in this case, it would be considered a "opinion".

I would say that there would be two sentences on this whole selection that would be the correct answer.

The first one: Rain makes up part of Earth’s water cycle.

The second one: Water evaporates from streams, lakes, and oceans, then condensation and precipitation occur in the form of rain.

These would be facts, and not just opinions that wouldn't be proven. These are proven statements that have been proven.

It would be b. distress
