True

Answer 1

The quote is an opinion, not a statement of fact

Step-by-step explanation:

The quote in question is not a statement of fact. It expresses an opinion rather than presenting a verifiable truth. The statement uses words like 'grateful' and 'hopeful' which indicate a personal perception or feeling, rather than an objective fact. Statements of fact can be proven or disproven with evidence, while opinions are subjective and based on personal beliefs or emotions.
