Fact or Opinion quiz!

Bigsweetie · 09-27-2007, 11:10 AM

Here's a quiz I think is relavent in light of resent events/commentary.

Some have posted their OPINIONS as if they were FACT (i.e.- truth). Maybe they can't tell the difference.

Reading Comprehension:Fact or Opinion?

BTW- this quiz is for 3rd and 4th graders.

Not trying to start a fight, just thought it would be fun to take the quiz, when I saw it I thought of some people here.

There's sometimes a way of stating an opinion, too, that should automatically be inferred as opinion because it is obviously not fact.

Like, if I say, "Chocolate chip ice cream is good," I shouldn't have to preface that with "I think" because it's clearly a personal opinion.

(I don't necessarily believe your post is innocent. It strikes me as a little incendiary.)

It wasn't meant to be innocent. It was meant to be informative to those here who think their opinion is fact.

And meant to be a fun quiz for those who realize that opinions are subjective and don't come here to post them as everyone's "truth".

Now why i'm still bothered by all of this is beyond me!~ LOL! Probably too much time on my hands to think about it with my DH gone. LOL!

Off to clean or something...

That's not an opinion, that's a fact!!!

(although chocolate chip cookie dough is better)

I would like to disagree with the quiz. It said "Kally is a small, gray cat with green eyes." I chose opinion and it called me wrong, which is impossible, I'm never wrong. "Small" and even "gray/green" can be subjective! Many say I have green eyes, some say I have blue. Apparently colors are not facts. And what is small to some may seem large to others. So this is a highly misinforming quiz.

LOL! You're funny.

And just for the record, butter pecan icecream is THE BEST icecream. The rest of you are flat out WRONG!!
