QUESTION:
What have you noticed from the statements? What are the key differences
between truth and opinion?
I've noticed from the statements that the truth can be verified or
proven as a fact, while opinion is an expression of judgment or belief
about something. The primary difference between truth and opinion is
that truth is supported by facts and evidence of reality, while opinion is
rooted in emotions and is biased. Pieces of evidence are used to verify the
truth. On the contrary, there is no evidence to back up the opinion. Facts
explain what happened. Unlike an opinion, that represents a perception
about something. The truth explains what actually took place or occurred,
compared to an opinion that reflects a point of view of someone on
something. The truth is an objective statement, whereas an opinion is a
subjective statement.

DIRECTIONS: Identify the following situations whether it is opinion or truth.


Support your answer.
1. My sister gave birth to her baby boy at exactly 8:45 am on July 04, 2015,
through cesarean delivery.
Opinion Truth
Why: It explains what happened and is based solely on factual reality, so it
is true. It provides evidence that can prove its accurate information and
can be confirmed by other sources.
2. My sister gave birth to her baby boy through cesarean because she believes
that it is a safer way of delivering a baby.
Opinion Truth
Why: The statement represents someone's own perception about
something, resulting in it being an opinion. It is based on the judgment
and emotion of someone, which is the reason why the person is biased
about their statement.
