What is the main difference between a scientific fact and a personal opinion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A fact is supported by evidence

The direct answer is option A: a scientific fact is supported by evidence. In science, a fact is a statement strongly supported by repeatable observations, measurements, or other reliable evidence. A personal opinion is what someone thinks, likes, or believes; it may be sensible, but it is not scientific fact merely because a person says it. Option A is correct because evidence gives a claim a basis that others can examine and check. Option B is wrong because an opinion is not always experimentally proven; it may be a preference or judgement. Option C is wrong because a well-supported fact does not change simply with each person’s preference, although scientific knowledge can be refined when better evidence appears. Option D is wrong because facts and opinions do not have the same basis. For example, “water boiled at this measured temperature under these conditions” can be checked, while “this experiment was interesting” is an opinion. Exam cue: ask, “What observation or evidence supports this statement?”
