Answer:

Es cierto que hay mucha agua.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translations

Es cierto que hay mucha agua. -> It is true that there is a lot of water.

No es verdad que estemos tristes. -> It is not true that we are sad.

Estoy contento que haya dinero en el banco. -> I am happy that there is money in the bank.

Mi madre quiere que yo haga mi cama. -> My mother wants me to make my bed.

__________________________________________________________

Let's number the sentences.

  1. Es cierto que hay mucha agua.
  2. No es verdad que estemos tristes.
  3. Estoy contento que haya dinero en el banco.
  4. Mi madre quiere que yo haga mi cama.

In #1, there is nor emotion, influence, or doubt. It is a stated fact.

In #2, there is a doubt ("It is not true...")

In #3, there is an emotion, happiness ("I am happy that...")

In #4, there is influence, as "my mother wants;" she is influencing the narrator to make their bed.

Thus, the first sentence does not contain influence, an emotion, or doubt.
