Question

Choose whether the following statement represents a fact or an opinion.

The spaghetti sauce from a jar isn't as tasty as the homemade stuff because it uses 15% fewer tomatoes.

Answer 1

I would say it represents an opinion rather than a fact. 

Answer 2

Opinion

Step-by-step explanation:

While the specific contents of a jar of tomato sauce is a fact (it is either true or false that a jar contains 15% fewer tomatoes than homemade sauce), whether this is tastier or not is an opinion. This is because taste is a personal preference, and the conclusion applies only to the author and not to all the population. It is important to understand the differences between opinion and fact in order to make sure that our assumptions are always backed by sufficient evidence.
