Question

Which choice shows an opinion that is best supported with evidence?

Anyone who is interested in history will like James Cross Giblin’s The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone because Giblin gives a lot of information about ancient Greek and Egyptian history.
Champollion translated many of the cartouches in ancient Egyptian tombs and concluded that they represented titles of monarchs, such as "Caesar," "Great King," and "Beloved of the Gods."
Champollion is clearly the hero of James Cross Giblin’s The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone because most of the story seems to be about him and his work deciphering the Rosetta Stone.
James Cross Giblin’s word choice shows that he respects Champollion because he states that Champollion was proven to be “correct without any doubt” and he describes Champollion’s book as “ground-breaking.”

Answer 1

Anyone who is interested in history will like James Cross Giblin’s The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone because Giblin gives a lot of information about ancient Greek and Egyptian history.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the opinion that is supported by evidence. Option B provides a statement of fact. Option C is also written as a fact, which is why the author uses the world "clearly" to convey it. Option D is similarly not written as an opinion. Option A is clearly an opinion because the author has no way of knowing whether everyone who is interested in history will like the text. However, he has evidence that provides support to his opinion.
