Which word refers to a personal view or judgment about something?

• A. Opinion
• B. Fact
• C. Data
• D. Statistic

Answer: (A)

A personal view or judgment about something is called an opinion. It reflects what you think or feel and can vary from person to person, and it isn’t something you prove with evidence in the same way a fact is. Facts are statements that can be proven true or false, while data are pieces of information collected for analysis and statistics are numerical summaries derived from that data. Since the question asks for a word that denotes a personal view, opinion is the best fit. For example, “I think this movie is the best” is an opinion, whereas “This movie won three awards” is a factual statement.
