The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say this.

Realists think that for a statement to be true, it has to deal with objective reality. On the other hand, anti-realists consider that any statement can is subjective and depend on the individual's beliefs. This means that it is directed related to the belief systems of the people who make the statement.

In the case of philosopher R. F. Holland, he has an anti-real consideration of miracles. He says that miracles are coincidences that religions interpret as miracles for their own conveniences. The key word here to understand Hllan's anti-realist perspective is "interpretation." He says that every single person is capable of making their own interpretations, thus it makes so personal.
