Which best identifies an opinion from "If Anne Frank Only Knew"?


Question 2 options:


Her diary has been translated into more 100 languages.



"After reading this book, I had a hatred for the American imperialists," says one student.



Anne, her parents, and sister hid in a small apartment in an attic in Amsterdam for more than two years.



A bookcase concealed their secret stairway, but the Nazis eventually discovered them, and Anne died in a concentration camp when she was only 15.

Verified Answer :

The answer is "After reading this book, I had a hatred for the American imperialists," says one student. The rest are facts this one is the opinion.

To understand the right answer here, we need to differentiate between facts and opinions. So; opinions are personal conclusions and interpretations. They are not entirely based on definite knowledge. However, facts are proofs in themselves supported by knowledge, articles, or report about the subject.

In this case, the famous "Diary of Anne Frank" is a primary source that presents proofs and personal struggle in some horrific circumstances.

Moreover, the options that are given to choose from, the  last two points are both facts that prove to be true and can be crosschecked in reference to the primary source- the diary. But, the first point is an opinion by some student which has clearly no access to such proof. Hence, it becomes obvious that Option-1 is an opinion, not the others.
