Which of the following is an example of a factual statement?

  1. Mr. Gomez is a nice person

  2. Half of Mr. Gomez's scrambled egg was eaten

  3. Mr. Gomez should eat more eggs

  4. Mr. Gomez loves breakfast

The correct answer is: Half of Mr. Gomez's scrambled egg was eaten

A factual statement is one that can be objectively verified and is based on observable evidence. In this context, the choice indicating that half of Mr. Gomez's scrambled egg was eaten is a factual statement because it presents a specific observation that can be confirmed through direct evidence. It describes a measurable quantity regarding his food consumption without the influence of personal opinion or emotion. In contrast, the other options are based on subjective interpretations or preferences. Describing Mr. Gomez as a nice person relies on personal opinions and feelings, while stating that he should eat more eggs expresses a recommendation rather than an observable fact. Lastly, claiming that Mr. Gomez loves breakfast also reflects a personal sentiment that cannot be universally verified, making it subjective. Thus, the only choice that stands as a factual statement is the one regarding the quantity of food eaten.
