Which of the following statements from Glaspell’s newspaper articles are opinions? Check all that apply. “The assault was probably committed by burglars.” “She was locked up in the county jail here last night at 8:30.” “At half past ten o’clock the grand jury made formal announcement that it had indicted Mrs. Hossack for the murder of her husband, John Hossack.” “Though past 50 years of age, she is tall and powerful and looks like she would be dangerous if aroused to a point of hatred.” “The awful crime of which Mrs. Hossack stands accused is still fresh in the minds of every newspaper reader in Iowa.”

Respuesta :

I believe that the first, the fourth, and the last option are opinions. 

Here's my reasoning:

The first one is mere speculation. The assault might not have been commited by robbers.

The fourth one states that someone might be "dangerous if aroused to a point of hatred." For all we know, the subject of this assumption may actually be extremely sweet-tempered. 

The last one states that the crime Mrs. Hossack commited is "awful." This gravity of her crime may seem more severe to other people. The crime she's accused of probably isn't the only thing newspaper readers in Iowa are thinking about.

The following statements from Glaspell’s newspaper articles which are opinions are:

  • A. “The assault was probably committed by burglars.”
  • D. “Though past 50 years of age, she is tall and powerful and looks like she would be dangerous if aroused to a point of hatred.”
  • E. “The awful crime of which Mrs. Hossack stands accused is still fresh in the minds of every newspaper reader in Iowa.”

According to the given question, we can see that we need to find out the statements from the newspaper article which is an example of an opinion.

As a result of this, we can see that the first option is actually an assumption which is not backed up by facts, but speculation. The second option is also speculation which is a personal opinion about how a person looks.

Furthermore, the option E is one which is also a personal opinion about how a crime is still fresh on the minds of everyone in a town.

Therefore, the correct answers are options A, D and E
