Read the excerpt from Midnight Assassin.At the coroner’s inquest, most of the Hossacks and their neighbors were tight-lipped about their knowledge of the turbulent family history. In 1900, communities largely ignored or tolerated domestic abuse, and no significant public discourse on the issue existed.Which words support the idea that the excerpt is an opinion?
Answer
A
most, largely, no significant
B
ignored, tolerated, existed
C
Hossacks, neighbors, abuse
D
tight-lipped, ignored, issued
Explanation
The words “most,” “largely,” and “no significant” qualify how broadly the statements apply. They show the writer is making a general judgment about what people knew and how communities responded, rather than stating an unqualified fact. So choice A best supports the idea that the excerpt includes opinion.
