first one
Third one
That should be the answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. it can be proven or disproven and B. Although incorrect, it is objective

Explanation:

An opinion is a statement based on personal judgments, beliefs or ideas and therefore all opinions are subjective and cannot be proven. On the other hand, a fact is an objective statement, this means it does not depend on the perception of people but represents reality and therefore can be proven.

In the case of "There are 54 states in the United States," this is not an opinion because this statement can be proven or disproven as you can look on the library, internet, etc. for the number of the United States and the answer will be the same, which means it does not depend on the perception of people. Also, this is not an opinion because is objective as it attempts to describe reality and not personal judgments; however, this is incorrect as the number of states is 50 rather than 54.
