Question

contemplating purchasing. The house was fine, but the yard was just a muddy field
with some stark, leafless trees at the far end. Observing Shane's dismayed
expression, his mom came over to him. "Imagine how beautiful that lawn will be by
next summer, after we plant grass," she said. "And the trees are in the ideal spot to
create afternoon shade. With a little landscaping, this yard wilbe the envy of the
neighborhood."

Which assertion would be easiest to objectively verify?

The trees are in the ideal' Spot to create shade

The lawn will be beautiful by next summer

The yard will be the envy of the neighborhood

Answer 1

The assertion that would be easiest to objectively verify is: "The trees are in the ideal spot to create shade."

This can be determined based on the position of the trees relative to the house and the sun's path, allowing for an assessment of whether they will provide shade in the afternoon. The other assertions about the beauty of the lawn and the yard being the envy of the neighborhood are subjective and rely on personal opinions and future circumstances, making them harder to objectively verify.
