To sort the statements by whether they are objective or subjective:
Objective:
1. Soccer is popular in Latin America.
2. Emus are in the ratite family.
Subjective:
1. Rainy days are the worst.
2. Bran muffins are delicious.
3. Dogs are the best pets for children.
Objective statements are based on facts that can be proven or verified. In this case, the statements about soccer being popular in Latin America and emus being in the ratite family are objective because they can be supported by evidence and data.
Subjective statements express personal opinions, feelings, or beliefs. The statements "rainy days are the worst," "bran muffins are delicious," and "dogs are the best pets for children" are subjective because they reflect personal preferences or opinions rather than universally verifiable facts.
By categorizing the statements in this way, you can distinguish between objective statements grounded in facts and subjective statements based on personal opinions or feelings.
