Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Treating any sentence with strong feeling as a fact, even when it uses signal words like best, worst, or beautiful.
• Calling a sentence an opinion just because it is short, instead of checking whether the statement can be tested with evidence.
• Missing mixed sentences that have both a fact and an opinion together, and labeling the whole sentence as just one or the other.
