In this Grade 4 worksheet, learners study writers' techniques and signal words that reveal author opinions. Pupils correct sentences that lean on words like best, greatest, and clearly, then fill in clue words such as think, fact, and opinion. Two short answers ask students to name signal words and explain how writers prove facts. This Grade 4 lesson sharpens the habit of looking for evidence and viewpoint markers.
