The first answer is D

Answer 2

Looking for words or phrases such as "I believe" or "worse" is one way to find indications of opinion. However, there is no rule that states that any phrase must be used to qualify that a statement as an opinion in nonfiction writing.

Pamphlets, political speeches, and travel brochures are examples of persuasive writing. A news article is an informational text that describes current or past events. An editorial is an example of a persuasive news piece that contains opinions.
