Question

8 People who think of Alaska as an unattractive frozen wasteland are just plain wrong. 9 Alaska is a land of various wildlife, varying climates, and hundreds of forms of plant life. 10 In fact, the highest mountains in North America are in Alaska, where they have a starring role in some unforgettable scenery.

a. fact

b. opinion

c. both fact and opinion

Answer 1

Both fact and opinion.

Step-by-step explanation:

This passage contains both fact and opinion statements. Sentences 8 and 10 are opinionated -- sentence 8 because the words "think," "unattractive," and "wrong" are usually used subjectively; sentence 10 because the words "starring" and "unforgettable" are almost always used subjectively. On the other hand, sentence 9 states that Alaska contains "various wildlife, varying climates, and hundreds of forms of plant life." These claims are factual, as Alaska does contain many different types of climates, wildlife, and plant life.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
