Which of the following statements is a claim of fact?

A. The media reports too much bad news, and it would be nice to see some good news from time to time.
B. Freedom of the press is addressed in our county's First Amendment to the Constitution.
C. While I disagree with the reporter's view, I think that he should be able to express them.
D. Too many media outlets are biased and are not objective when reporting the news.

Answer 1

The answer is B. I'm 98% sure.

Answer 2

B. Freedom of the press is addressed in our county's First Amendment to the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A claim of fact is a statement of truth or fact made about something or someone, therefore, subjective statements such as option A and C, and claims that are not supported with evidence like option D are not examples of claims of fact. Option B, on the other, does state something proven to be true, as the 1rst Amendment states the following:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
