Answer 1

The sentence containing a fact from the passage is about the film's running time being 98 minutes, which is quantifiable and verifiable compared to the other sentences that are based on subjective opinions or interpretations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact-based sentence from the passage provided is "With a running time of 98 minutes, the pacing is quick and efficient." This sentence includes a verifiable fact about the movie's length, which is 98 minutes. All the other sentences from the passage contain subjective statements based on personal interpretation or judgement, which cannot be proven as facts. For instance, describing how an actor portrays emotion through their facial expressions or stating that a film is a "tense thrill ride" are opinions. Similarly, saying that "close-up shots feel claustrophobic" is also a subjective observation, since different viewers may have different reactions to the cinematography.
